It would be awesome if the 2 banks I called had any idea about it...

Banks will be going live with SBA 7a Paycheck Protection Program loans sometime in the next week. If you're a small

When you say “going live” does that mean

How have you submitted the application for it when there isn’t one?

You can submit for EIDL now, but I wouldn't, PPP is a much better program

I don't know, our CEO submitted some application throught the SBA website

In all fairness, it has changed 3-4 times in the last 2 weeks, but the SBA is

3/30/20 1:12pm

They have not yet begun accepting applications

Correct. I don't believe you can use both the EIDL and the PPP. Just one or the other from what we've been told.

Pimpin4Paradise

3/30/20 12:47pm

I’ve been told by 2 different advisers that you can refinance EIDL into PPP loan

BYUCLA

3/30/20 12:53pm

That’s my understanding as well.

I have had conference calls with my rep every couple of days, on Friday

3/30/20 12:29pm

We are doing the same. Timing will be tricky.

BYUCLA

3/30/20 12:45pm

We'll have all of SBA's requirements by Friday and will be going live with applications starting Monday morning.

Would the forgiveness period begin when we receive the funding or when we apply?

BYUCLA

3/30/20 12:54pm

8 weeks begin on Loan Origination

3/30/20 12:58pm

Forgive me for my ignorance, but is loan origination when you receive the funds?

Just got an email from my Relationship Manager at the Bank

I hope this goes quick...our poor employees are sucking wind.

What does this mean regarding loan forgiveness?

El Paso Coug

3/30/20 12:30pm

There is a stipulation that the forgiveness amount goes down if you have less

3/30/20 12:46pm

My business has been mostly uninterrupted--should I get the loan?

El Paso Coug

3/30/20 12:57pm

You only get 8 weeks worth of payroll forgiven

3/30/20 1:08pm

Basically if you are paying wages to employees you will get it forgiven.

The more people you let go or reduce their wages by >= 25%, the less that can be forgiven.

Pimpin4Paradise

3/30/20 12:49pm

But if you re hire previously laid off workers the amount you are paying

In fairness to them, we're just receiving info on this as we receive it from SBA. They'll probably know more by the end

Pimpin4Paradise

3/30/20 12:52pm

I agree but no reason Wells Fargo shouldn't have their ducks in a row...

3/30/20 1:51pm

I use WF as well. I’ll bet they just playing dumb right now

kotacoug

3/30/20 1:57pm

They're trying to figure out how to make more fake accounts to get extra loans..

What's the current literature that you are referencing? What about EIDLs?

Thanks for keeping folks apprised of the progress on this. It's frustrating to not know exactly what to prepare

Do you have a link to a general overview of this somewhere I can read about it?

This is a decent synopsis of it
