President Trump signed the bipartisan Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA) this week. The legislation makes the following changes to the PPP program for small businesses:
- Extends the expense forgiveness period from eight weeks to twenty-four weeks
- Reduces the 75 percent payroll ratio requirement
- Eliminates 2-year loan repayment restrictions for future borrowers
- Allows payroll tax deferment for PPP recipients
- Extends the June 30 rehiring deadline
More than 50 trade associations representing America’s small businesses supported the legislation. View the full text here.
