01/08/21 PPP UPDATE:
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM FIRST DRAW LOANS
First Draw PPP Loans can be used to help fund payroll costs, including benefits. Funds can also be used to pay for mortgage interest, rent, utilities, worker protection costs related to COVID-19, uninsured property damage costs caused by looting or vandalism during 2020, and certain supplier costs and expenses for operations.
Who can apply:
Eligible small entities, that together with their affiliates (if applicable), have 500 or fewer employees — including nonprofits, veterans organizations, tribal concerns, self-employed individuals, sole proprietorships, and independent contractors — can apply. Entities with more than 500 employees in certain industries that meet SBA’s alternative size standard or SBA’s size standards for those particular industries can also apply.
Also eligible to apply for First Draw PPP Loans are businesses with a NAICS Code that begins with 72 (Accommodation and Food Services sector) or eligible news organizations with no more than 500 employees per physical location, as well as housing cooperatives, 501(c)(6) organizations, or destination marketing organizations with no more than 300 employees.
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM SECOND DRAW LOANS
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) now allows certain eligible borrowers that previously received a PPP loan to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan with the same general loan terms as their First Draw PPP Loan. Second Draw PPP Loans can be used to help fund payroll costs, including benefits. Funds can also be used to pay for mortgage interest, rent, utilities, worker protection costs related to COVID-19, uninsured property damage costs caused by looting or vandalism during 2020, and certain supplier costs and expenses for operations.
Targeted Eligibility: A borrower is generally eligible for a Second Draw PPP Loan if the borrower:
- Previously received a First Draw PPP Loan and will or has used the full amount only for authorized uses;
- Has no more than 300 employees; and
- Can demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020.

01/02/21 PPP UPDATE:
On Sunday, December 27, 2020, the COVID-19 relief bill was signed into law and includes another round of PPP loans. This PPP Second Draw Program provides an opportunity for small businesses to apply for a second PPP forgivable loan. The proposed bill provides the Small Business Administration (SBA) approximately two weeks to issue the necessary guidance, rules and official forms to process PPP applications. Until then, we will do our best to keep you informed of how to apply for the PPP Second Draw program with us.
In the meantime, here is the summary currently available on what to expect with this proposed second round of PPP:
Applicant Eligibility
- Employ not more than 300 employees;
- Have used or will use the full amount of their first PPP; and
- Demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in revenue in any quarter of 2020 relative to the same 2019 quarter.
- Borrowers may receive a loan amount of up to 2.5X the average monthly payroll costs in the one year prior to the loan or calendar year 2019.
- Entities in industries assigned to NAICS code 72 (Accommodation and Food Services) may receive loans of up to 3.5X average monthly payroll costs.
- No loan can be greater than $2 million.
Loan Forgiveness
- Borrowers of a PPP second draw loan would be eligible for loan forgiveness equal to the sum of their payroll costs, as well as covered mortgage, rent, and utility payments, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage costs, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures incurred during the covered period. The 60/40 cost allocation between payroll and non-payroll costs in order to receive full forgiveness will continue to apply.
12/21/2020 PPP LOAN FORGIVENESS UPDATE:
The SBA and Dept of Treasury will be working as quickly as possible to clarify and implement the policies, procedures, mechanisms, and timelines needed for any newly passed COVID-19 legislation. It is critical that we provide accurate, timely information, and we are committed to doing so. Please keep in mind that proposed legislation must be passed by both houses of Congress and Signed by the President of the United States before it becomes law.
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.
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:

- 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.
