Summary of Costs Eligible for Forgiveness:
Eligible payroll cost:
Borrowers qualify for forgiveness for the payroll costs paid and payroll costs incurred during the "Covered Period" or "Alternative Payroll Covered Period."
"Covered Period" is an eight-week (56-day) period starting the date the borrowers PPP loan was disbursed.
"Alternative Payroll Covered Period" is an eight-week (56-day) period that starts on the first day of their first pay period following their PPP Loan Disbursement Date.
Payroll costs are considered paid on the day that paychecks are issued or the Borrower originates an ACH credit transaction. Payroll costs are considered incurred on the day that the employee’s pay is received
Payroll costs incurred but not paid during the Borrower’s last pay period of the Covered Period (or Alternative Payroll Covered Period) are eligible for forgiveness if paid on or before the next regular payroll date.
Total amount of cash compensation eligible for forgiveness may not exceed an annual salary of $100,000 as prorated for the covered period.
Count payroll costs that were both paid and incurred only once
