ICBA's PPP loan-forgiveness push gaining traction
ICBA's ongoing push for policymakers to provide guidance on Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness made headlines in the
Financial Times,
American Banker,
Forbes,
Banking Dive, and more.
Community bankers can continue to use ICBA's Be Heard grassroots action center to urge policymakers to:
- Reconsider the SBA’s non-statutory requirement that 75 percent of PPP loan proceeds must be spent on retaining payroll.
- Provide a straightforward, easy-to-apply approach to loan forgiveness, such as developing a PPP loan-forgiveness calculator.
- Establish a presumption of compliance for all loans with an original balance of $1 million or less based on the borrower’s certification.
- Address the many questions that have arisen related to PPP loan forgiveness.
