SBA extends PPP repayment deadline to May 14

Last night the Small Business Administration (SBA) published FAQ #43, extending the PPP loan economic uncertainty repayment deadline from May 7 to May 14.   

The SBA’s statement in FAQ #31 that borrowers must make the economic uncertainty certification in good faith — taking into account their current business activity and their ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support their ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business — has caused uncertainty and concern for many companies who were granted PPP loans.

Notably in FAQ #43, the SBA said they intend to provide additional guidance before the new May 14 deadline on how they will review the economic uncertainty certification.
