I am continuing to work closely with federal, state and local officials to help individuals and small businesses recover from coronavirus. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) released a simplified application for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness for borrowers who meet the following criteria:

• Are self-employed and have no employees; OR
• Did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%, and did not reduce the number or hours of their employees; OR
• Experienced reductions in business activity as a result of health directives related to COVID-19, and did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%.

This new application requires fewer calculations and less documentation for eligible borrowers, making it easier for you to apply for forgiveness.
