Paycheck Protection Program Loan Forgiveness
We understand that the PPP loan forgiveness process is important to your business. If you received PPP funding through OMB, you will need to submit your forgiveness application through us as well.
You will be receiving communication from our PPP Team in the coming weeks, providing you with a forgiveness application and guidance on the forgiveness process.
SBA Forgiveness Applications: To date, SBA has provided 3 applications for SBA Forgiveness:
- SBA Form 3508 – Borrower must use this form if they are not eligible to use Form 3508EZ or Form 3508S
- SBA Form 3508EZ – Simplified version for loans greater than $50M. To qualify, the borrower must be able to check at least one of the three boxes on page 1 of the Form 3508EZ Instructions. If the borrower is not able to answer one of the three boxes on page 1 of the instructions, they must use Form 3508.
- SBA Form 3508S – Streamline application for loans $50M and under.
-
- A borrower that, together with its affiliates, received PPP loans totaling $2 million or greater cannot use this form.
-
- SBA Form 3508S is exempt from any reductions in the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount based on reductions in full-time equivalent (FTE) employees or reductions in employee salary or wages, that would otherwise apply.
How to Prepare:
Please review the information below and contact your OMB Community Banker if you have additional questions:
- Understand the eligible cost (payroll, mortgage interest, rent payments and utilities)
- If Payroll Costs alone are sufficient to receive FULL forgiveness of the loan amount, you do not need to include Non-Payroll Costs in the calculation nor do you have to provide Non-Payroll documentation.
- Gather and keep records on eligible expenses – below is documentation that you will be required to submit to the bank with your forgiveness application.
Payroll: Documentation verifying the eligible cash compensation and non-cash benefit payments from the Covered Period or the Alternative Payroll Covered Period consisting of each of the following:
- Bank account statements or third-party payroll service provider reports documenting the amount of cash compensation paid to employees.
- Tax forms (or equivalent third-party payroll service provider reports) for the periods that overlap with the Covered Period or the Alternative Payroll Covered Period:
- Payroll tax filings reported, or that will be reported, to the IRS (typically, Form 941); and
- State quarterly business and individual employee wage reporting and unemployment insurance tax filings reported, or that will be reported, to the relevant state.
- Payment receipts, cancelled checks, or account statements documenting the amount of any employer contributions to employee health insurance and retirement plans that the Borrower included in the forgiveness amount.
