With the Senate bringing two separate measures that include Paycheck Protection Program forgiveness simplification to a vote starting today, ICBA continues calling on community bankers and their small-business contacts to weigh in with lawmakers.
ICBA's Be Heard grassroots action center allows community bankers and small-business owners to urge Congress to address the deduction of Economic Injury Disaster Loan advances from PPP loan forgiveness. ICBA encourages community bankers to direct borrowers to the small-business alert.
While borrowers may receive up to a $10,000 EIDL advance, those funds will be deducted from PPP loan forgiveness. ICBA has repeatedly raised this issue with Congress and the SBA, reiterating it Monday in a new joint message to lawmakers.
Meanwhile, ICBA continues calling on community bankers and small-business owners to urge Congress to immediately pass bipartisan legislation to simplify PPP forgiveness.
While the Senate measures are not expected to pass amid ongoing stimulus talks, ICBA continually works to ensure these PPP priorities remain a key part of the debate.
