PPP Forgiveness Factsheet

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) borrowers may be eligible for loan forgiveness if the funds were used for eligible payroll costs, payments on business mortgage interest payments, rent, or utilities during either the 8- or 24-week period after disbursement.

To help borrower’s better understand how to apply, the SBA has prepared a new PPP factsheet that provides a high-level overview of how the forgiveness process works.
