Late Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued a new FAQ for the Paycheck Protection Program. The FAQ (#43) extends the limited safe harbor window from May 7 to May 14, 2020, for borrowers to return funds that in retrospect they should not have received.
In addition, according to the FAQ, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is to provide additional guidance on how it will review the certification that the loan was “necessary” prior to May 14. We will issue another alert as soon as this guidance is released.
