SBA and Treasury Announce New EZ and Revised Full
Forgiveness Applications for the Paycheck Protection Program
June 17, 2020

Washington—Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), in consultation with the
Department of the Treasury, posted a revised, borrower-friendly Paycheck Protection Program
(PPP) loan forgiveness application implementing the PPP Flexibility Act of 2020, signed into law
by President Trump on June 5, 2020. In addition to revising the full forgiveness application, SBA
also published a new EZ version of the forgiveness application that applies to borrowers that:
Are self-employed and have no employees; OR
Did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%, and did not
reduce the number or hours of their employees; OR
Experienced reductions in business activity as a result of health directives related to COVID19, and did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%.
The EZ application requires fewer calculations and less documentation for eligible borrowers.
Details regarding the applicability of these provisions are available in the instructions to the new
EZ application form.
Both applications give borrowers the option of using the original 8-week covered period (if their
loan was made before June 5, 2020) or an extended 24-week covered period. These changes
will result in a more efficient process and make it easier for businesses to realize full forgiveness
of their PPP loan.
