Loan Forgiveness Application Form 3508 Revised July XX, 2021

LOAN FORGIVENESS APPLICATION FORM 3508 INSTRUCTIONS FOR BORROWERS


To apply for forgiveness of your First or Second Draw Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan, you (the Borrower) may use the Form 3508EZ or the Form 3508S application or complete this application as directed in these instructions, and submit it to your Lender (or the Lender that is servicing your loan). Borrowers may also complete their application electronically through their Lender. Each PPP loan must use a separate loan forgiveness application form. You cannot use one form to apply for forgiveness of both a First Draw PPP Loan and a Second Draw PPP loan. For a Second Draw PPP Loan in excess of $150,000, you must submit a loan forgiveness application for your First Draw PPP Loan before or simultaneously with the loan forgiveness application for your Second Draw PPP Loan, even if the calculated amount of forgiveness on your First Draw PPP Loan is zero.

If this application is being submitted for a First Draw PPP Loan approved on or before August 8, 2020 and the Borrower is required to submit an SBA Form 3508D disclosure of a controlling interest, that disclosure must be submitted to the lender not later than 30 days after submission of this loan forgiveness application. See subsection B.16 of SBA’s interim final rule posted on January 6, 2021 (86 FR 3692).


This application has the following components: (1) the PPP Loan Forgiveness Calculation Form; (2) PPP Schedule A; (3) the PPP Schedule A Worksheet; and (4) the (optional) PPP Borrower Demographic Information Form. All Borrowers must submit (1) and

Summary of Costs Eligible for Forgiveness:


Borrowers are eligible for loan forgiveness for the following costs:

  1. Eligible payroll costs. Borrowers are generally eligible for forgiveness for the payroll costs paid and payroll costs incurred during the Covered Period (“payroll costs”). Payroll costs are considered paid on the day that paychecks are distributed or the Borrower originates an ACH credit transaction. Payroll costs are considered incurred on the day that the employee’s pay is earned. Payroll costs incurred but not paid during the Borrower’s last pay period of the Covered Period are eligible for forgiveness if paid on or before the next regular payroll date. Otherwise, payroll costs must be paid during the Covered Period. For each individual employee, the 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. Include only payroll costs for employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States. For information on what qualifies as payroll costs, see SBA’s interim final rule posted on January 6, 2021 (86 FR 3692), as amended by SBA’s interim final rule posted on March 18, 2021 (86 FR 15083). For information on what qualifies as payroll costs for a Borrower that applied for the loan using SBA Form 2483-C or 2483-SD, see SBA’s interim final rule on loan amount calculation and eligibility posted on March 3, 2021 (86 FR 13149), as amended by SBA’s interim final rule posted on March 18, 2021 (86 FR 15083).


  1. Eligible nonpayroll costs. Nonpayroll costs eligible for forgiveness consist of:

      1. covered mortgage obligations: payments of mortgage interest (not including any prepayment or payment of principal) on any business mortgage obligation on real or personal property incurred before February 15, 2020 (“business mortgage interest payments”);

      2. covered rent obligations: business rent or lease payments pursuant to lease agreements for real or personal property in force before February 15, 2020 (“business rent or lease payments”);

      3. covered utility payments: business payments for a service for the distribution of electricity, gas, water, telephone, transportation, or internet access for which service began before February 15, 2020 (“business utility payments”);

(d) covered operations expenditures: payments for any business software or cloud computing service that facilitates business operations, product or service delivery, the processing, payment, or tracking of payroll expenses, human resources, sales and billing functions, or accounting of tracking of supplies, inventory, records, and expenses;

(e) covered property damage costs: costs related to property damage and vandalism or looting due to public disturbances that occurred during 2020 that were not covered by insurance or other compensation;

(f) covered supplier costs: expenditures made to a supplier of goods for the supply of goods that are essential to the operations of the Borrower at the time at which the expenditure is made, and made pursuant to a contract, order, or purchase order in effect prior to the beginning of the Covered Period (for perishable goods, the contract, order, or purchase order may have been in effect before or at any time during the Covered Period); and

(g) covered worker protection expenditures: operating or capital expenditures that facilitate the adaptation of the business activities of an entity to comply with the requirements established or guidance issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or any equivalent requirements established or guidance issued by a State or local government, during the period starting March 1, 2020 and ending on the date on which the national emergency declared by the President with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) expires related to maintenance standards for sanitation, social distancing, or any other worker or customer safety requirement related to COVID-19, but does not include residential real property or intangible property.


Eligible nonpayroll costs cannot exceed 40% of the total forgiveness amount. An eligible nonpayroll cost must be paid either during the Covered Period or incurred during the Covered Period and paid on or before the next regular billing date, even if the billing date is after the Covered Period. Count nonpayroll costs that were both paid and incurred only once.


The amount of loan forgiveness the Borrower applies for may be subject to reductions as explained in PPP Schedule A.

Instructions for PPP Schedule A


Lines 1 through 5: Enter the amounts from PPP Schedule A Worksheet Tables as directed.


Enter the amount from line 3 of PPP Schedule A on line 9 of the PPP Loan Forgiveness Application Form.


For lines 6 through 9, during the Covered Period:


Line 6: Enter the total amount paid by the Borrower for employer contributions for employee group health, life, disability, vision, or dental insurance, including employer contributions to a self-insured, employer-sponsored group health plan, but excluding any pre-tax or after-tax contributions by employees. Do not add contributions for these benefits made on behalf of a self-employed individual, general partners, or owner-employees of an S-corporation, because such payments are already included in their compensation. Additionally, do not add premiums for COBRA continuation coverage taken into account in determining the credit under section 6432 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.


Line 7: Enter the total amount paid by the Borrower for employer contributions to employee retirement plans, excluding any pre-tax or after-tax contributions by employees. Do not add employer retirement contributions made on behalf of a self-employed individual or general partners, because such payments are already included in their compensation.

Line 8: Enter the total amount paid by the Borrower for employer state and local taxes assessed on employee compensation (e.g., state unemployment insurance tax); do not list any taxes withheld from employee earnings.


Line 9: Enter any amounts the Borrower paid to owners (owner-employees (with an ownership stake of 5% or more), a self-employed individual, or general partners). For each individual owner in total across all businesses, this amount is capped at (a) $20,833 (the 2.5-month equivalent of $100,000 per year), or (b) the 2.5-month equivalent of the individual’s applicable compensation in the year that was used to calculate the loan amount (2019 or 2020), whichever is lower. If Borrower applied for the loan using SBA Form 2483-C or 2483-SD-C, owner compensation includes proprietor expenses (business expenses plus owner compensation). Proprietor expenses equal the difference between the Borrower’s gross income and employee payroll costs. The Borrower’s proprietor expenses are capped at (a) $20,833 (the 2.5-month equivalent of $100,000 per year), or (b) the 2.5-month equivalent of the borrower’s gross income in the year that was used to calculate the loan amount (2019 or 2020), whichever is lower.



Line 10: Add lines 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Enter this amount on line 1 on the PPP Loan Forgiveness Calculation Form.


Line 11: Enter the Borrower’s total average weekly full-time equivalency (FTE) during the chosen reference period. For purposes of this calculation, the reference period is, at the Borrower’s election, either (i) February 15, 2019 to June 30, 2019; (ii) January 1, 2020 to February 29, 2020; or (iii) in the case of seasonal employers, either of the preceding periods or any consecutive 12-week period between February 15, 2019 and February 15, 2020. For each employee, follow the same method that was used to calculate Average FTE on the PPP Schedule A Worksheet. Sum across all employees during the reference period and enter that total on this line.


The calculations on lines 11, 12, and 13 will be used to determine whether the Borrower’s loan forgiveness amount must be reduced based on reductions in full-time equivalent employees, as required by the statute. Specifically, the actual loan forgiveness amount that the Borrower will receive may be reduced if the Borrower’s average weekly FTE employees during the Covered Period was less than during the Borrower’s chosen reference period. The Borrower is exempt from such a reduction, and should skip lines 11 and 12, if any of the three criteria listed on PPP Schedule A under Full-Time Equivalency (FTE) Reduction Calculation has been met.


Line 12: Add lines 2 and 5.


Line 13: Divide line 12 by line 11 (or enter 1.0 if any of the three criteria listed on PPP Schedule A under Full-Time Equivalency (FTE) Reduction Calculation has been met). If more than 1.0, enter 1.0. Enter this amount on line 11 of the Loan Forgiveness Calculation Form.

Instructions for PPP Schedule A Worksheet


Complete the PPP Schedule A Worksheet or obtain an equivalent report from the Borrower’s payroll system or payroll processor.


Table Instructions


Employee’s Name: Separately list each employee. Do not include any independent contractors, owner-employees (with an ownership stake of 5% or more), self-employed individuals, or partners. Include only payroll costs for employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States.


Employee Identifier: Enter the last four digits of each employee’s Social Security Number.


Cash Compensation: Enter the sum of gross salary, gross wages, gross tips, gross commissions, paid leave (vacation, family, medical or sick leave, not including leave covered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act), and allowances for dismissal or separation paid or incurred during the Covered Period. Do not include qualified wages taken into account in determining (a) the Employee Retention Credit under section 2301 of the CARES Act, as amended by sections 206 and 207 of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020; (b) the Employee Retention Credit under section 3134 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as enacted by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021; and (c) the disaster credit under section 303 of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020. For each individual employee, the total amount of cash compensation eligible for forgiveness may not exceed an annual salary of $100,000, as prorated for the Covered Period. For example, for an 8-week Covered Period, the maximum is $15,385, for a 24-week Covered Period, the maximum is $46,154.


Average FTE: This calculates the average full-time equivalency (FTE) during the Covered Period. For each employee, enter the average number of hours paid per week, divide by 40, and round the total to the nearest tenth. The maximum for each employee is capped at 1.0. A simplified method that assigns a 1.0 for employees who work 40 hours or more per week and 0.5 for employees who work fewer hours may be used at the election of the Borrower.


This calculation will be used to determine whether the Borrower’s loan forgiveness amount must be reduced due to a statutory requirement concerning reductions in full-time equivalent employees. Borrowers are eligible for loan forgiveness for certain expenditures during the Covered Period. However, the actual loan forgiveness amount that the Borrower will receive may be less, depending on whether the Borrower’s average weekly number of FTE employees during the Covered Period was less than during the Borrower’s chosen reference period (see Instructions to PPP Schedule A, Line 11). The Borrower is exempt from such a reduction if either of the FTE Reduction Safe Harbors applies. See the FTE Reduction Safe Harbor instructions below.


Salary/Hourly Wage Reduction: This calculation will be used to determine whether the Borrower’s loan forgiveness amount must be reduced due to a statutory requirement concerning reductions in employee salary and wages. Borrowers are eligible for loan forgiveness for certain expenditures during the Covered Period. However, the actual amount of loan forgiveness the Borrower will receive may be less, depending on whether the salary or hourly wages of certain employees during the Covered Period was less than during the most recent full quarter before the Covered Period. If the Borrower restored salary/hourly wage levels, the Borrower may be eligible for elimination of the Salary/Hourly Wage Reduction amount. Borrowers must complete this worksheet to determine whether to reduce the amount of loan forgiveness for which they are eligible. Complete the Salary/Hour Wage Reduction column only for employees whose salaries or hourly wages were reduced by more than 25% during the Covered Period as compared to the most recent full quarter before the Covered Period. For each employee listed in Table 1, complete the following (using salary for salaried employees and hourly wage for hourly employees):

        1. Enter average annual salary or hourly wage during Covered Period: .

        2. Enter average annual salary or hourly wage during the most recent full quarter before the Covered Period: .

        3. Divide the value entered in 1.a. by 1.b.: .

If 1.c. is 0.75 or more, enter zero in the column above box 3 for that employee; otherwise proceed to Step 2.


Step 2. Determine if the Salary/Hourly Wage Reduction Safe Harbor is met.

  1. Enter the annual salary or hourly wage as of February 15, 2020: .

  2. Enter the average annual salary or hourly wage between February 15, 2020 and April 26, 2020:

.

If 2.b. is equal to or greater than 2.a., skip to Step 3. Otherwise, proceed to 2.c.

  1. Enter the average annual salary or hourly wage as of (a) for a PPP loan made before December 27, 2020, December 31, 2020 or (b) for a PPP loan made after December 27, 2020, the last day of the Covered Period: _________________.

If 2.c. is equal to or greater than 2.a., the Salary/Hourly Wage Reduction Safe Harbor has been met – enter zero in the column above box 3 for that employee. Otherwise proceed to Step 3.


Step 3. Determine the Salary/Hourly Wage Reduction.

  1. Multiply the amount entered in 1.b. by 0.75: .

  2. Subtract the amount entered in 1.a. from 3.a.: .

If the employee is an hourly worker, compute the total dollar amount of the reduction that exceeds 25% as follows:

  1. Enter the average number of hours worked per week during the most recent full quarter before the Covered Period:

.

  1. Multiply the amount entered in 3.b. by the amount entered in 3.c. . Multiply this amount by the number of weeks in the Covered Period (a whole number between 8 and 24):_______________. Enter this value in the column above box 3 for that employee.

If the employee is a salaried worker, compute the total dollar amount of the reduction that exceeds 25% as follows:

  1. Multiply the amount entered in 3.b. by the number of weeks in the Covered Period: . Divide this amount by 52: . Enter this value in the column above box 3 for that employee.


FTE Reduction Exceptions: Indicate the FTE of (1) any positions for which the Borrower made a good-faith, written offer to rehire an individual who was an employee on February 15, 2020 and the Borrower was unable to hire similarly qualified employees for unfilled positions on or before (a) December 31, 2020, for a PPP loan made before December 27, 2020 or (b) the last day of the Covered Period, for a PPP loan made after December 27, 2020; (2) any positions for which the Borrower made a good-faith, written offer to restore any reduction in hours, at the same salary or wages, during the Covered Period and the employee rejected the offer, and (3) any employees who during the Covered Period (a) were fired for cause, (b) voluntarily resigned, or (c) voluntarily requested and received a reduction of their hours. In all of these cases, include these FTEs on this line only if the position was not filled by a new employee. Any FTE reductions in these cases do not reduce the Borrower’s loan forgiveness.


Boxes 1 through 5: Enter the sums of the amounts in each of the columns.
