OMB Control Number: 3245-0415
Expiration Date: XX/XX/XXXX

LENDER CERTIFICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT OR CORRECTION
OF PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM (PPP) LOAN
A lender in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) can use this form to request (1) reinstatement of a PPP loan that was
cancelled in SBA’s ETRAN system due to the lender’s data input error, or (2) correction of the lender’s data input error in
the SBA Loan Approval Amount of a PPP loan on ETRAN. SBA will rely on the information submitted on this form to
evaluate the lender’s request.
SBA’s authority to approve new PPP loans expired on August 8, 2020. Under Section 145.3 of OMB Circular A-11,
Preparation, Submission, and Execution of the Budget (7/10/20), SBA may correct data input errors after program
authority expires. See also 31 U.S.C. § 1553(a). Other types of requests for PPP loan reinstatements or PPP loan amount
changes, such as reinstatements of PPP loans that were intentionally cancelled or requests for PPP loan increases, are not
permitted. Lenders are not required to submit this form for decreases in the SBA Loan Approval Amount of a PPP loan;
the lender can perform that function in SBA’s ETRAN system.
Following are examples of lender requests for reinstatement or correction that can be submitted on this form:
Reinstatement Examples
• Example 1: A lender approved a PPP loan and received an SBA loan number through ETRAN. The borrower
signed a PPP note and sent it to the lender. The lender fully disbursed the PPP loan to the borrower. While
attempting to report the loan as fully disbursed, lender erroneously reported the loan as cancelled on SBA Form
1502 instead.
• Example 2: A lender approved a PPP loan and received an SBA loan number through ETRAN. The lender’s
system contained two applications from the same borrower. While attempting to delete the duplicative
application from the lender’s system, the lender mistakenly cancelled the approved loan in ETRAN.
Lender Data Input Error Correction Examples
• Example 1: A lender approved a PPP loan and received an SBA loan number through ETRAN. The SBA Loan
Approval Amount in ETRAN was $100,800. The lender disbursed $100,800 to the borrower. The lender
mistakenly decreased the SBA Loan Approval Amount in ETRAN to $100,400 and mistakenly reported that
amount as disbursed on SBA Form 1502. The $400 decrease in the SBA Loan Approval Amount in ETRAN
was a data input error by the lender, and the lender requests on this form that the SBA Loan Approval Amount
be restored to $100,800.
• Example 2: A lender approved a PPP loan and received an SBA loan number through ETRAN. The SBA Loan
Approval Amount in ETRAN was $590,000. Before loan closing, the lender determined that the correct
maximum loan amount was $550,000, a difference of $40,000. The lender disbursed $550,000 to the borrower.
When the lender corrected the SBA Loan Approval Amount in ETRAN, the lender mistakenly entered
$500,500 instead of $550,000. The lender requests on this form that the SBA Loan Approval Amount be
corrected to $550,000, the amount actually disbursed by the lender.
This form must be signed and certified by a Senior Vice President or equivalent Authorized Lender Official of the
lender that is the current PPP lender of record. (The Senior Vice President or Authorized Lender Official must be
an officer of the lender and cannot be a Lender Service Provider.) The lender must submit a separate form for each
PPP loan for which a reinstatement or correction is requested. Submit this form and all supporting documentation to the
appropriate SBA Loan Center. SBA may request additional documentation after reviewing the form.
