WASHINGTON—The interim final rule from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to implement its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) has been published in the Federal Register.
In addition to the rule's text that was previously released, a supplemental version has also been published that clarifies some questions credit unions have had related to documents needed for self-employed individuals' income and eligible businesses, NAFCU noted.
For self-employed individuals, those that file a Form 1040, Schedule C are eligible to receive a loan through the program as long as certain criteria are met.
For eligible businesses, the updated rule clarifies that directors or certain equity holders of PPP lenders that are owners of unrelated businesses may apply for PPP loans. For credit unions, this means that board of directors, who are not key employees or officers of the credit union, may apply for a PPP loan through the program, NAFCU said.
Updated FAQs
In addition to the interim final rule, the SBA and Treasury published an updated version of its FAQs to address questions related to the SBA's Standards of Conduct Committee, PPP borrowers that are also employed by a government department or agency, and process of reviewing required borrower information before submitting applications through E-Tran.
NAFCU noted it has its own PPP FAQs available to help credit unions that are providing loans through the program through the process.
