SBA extends safe harbor for returning PPP funds.
The U.S. SBA has extended the
safe
-
harbor
period for returning Paycheck Protection Program (
PPP
) funds to
May 14.
New guidance question released this week:
Question
: Is an employer that repays its PPP loan by the safe harbor deadline (May 14, 2020) eligible for the Employee Retention Credit?
Answer:
Yes. An employer that applied for a PPP loan, received payment, and repays the loan by the safe harbor deadline (May 14, 2020) will be treated as though the employer had not received a covered loan under the PPP for purposes of the Employee Retention Credit. Therefore, the employer will be eligible for the credit if the employer is otherwise an eligible employer for purposes of the credit.
