It may sound too good to be true, but it isn’t: Thanks to NAHB’s recent legal victory, every NAHB member who has received a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan can have their loan forgiven.
Although it is too late to take out a PPP loan, it is NOT too late to apply to have your loan forgiven if you have previously received a PPP loan.
The process to receive a refund on your PPP loan is outlined here on the Small Business Administration (SBA) website.
SBA has launched a streamlined application portal for borrowers with loans of $150,000 or less, and you can read more details in this NAHBNow post. Borrowers who need assistance or have questions should call 877-552-2692, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. ET.
Loans to HBAs can be forgiven as well, thanks to NAHB’s efforts in working with Congress to include 501(c)(6) organizations as being eligible to receive PPP funding. Just as with any other business that received PPP loans, these loans can be forgiven if used for payroll, rent/mortgage, utilities and other qualifying expenses.
