Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)

PLEASE NOTE: The U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, issued new and revised guidance for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).  This guidance implements the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA), signed into law by President Trump on June 5, 2020, and expands eligibility for businesses with owners who have past felony convictions.   Please contact your Settlers bank lender if you’d like to apply with us or see below for more information about the PPP program.

The Paycheck Protection Program, part of the new CARES stimulus package, is a federal loan program aimed at helping small businesses who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and provides small businesses with funds to pay up to 8 weeks of payroll costs including benefits. Funds can also potentially be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and certain utilities. The U.S. Small Business Administration has now provided final details and a final application to apply for the PPP loan. See below for the application and details. Please contact your Settlers bank lender with any questions you may have.

Under this program:

• Eligible recipients may qualify for a loan up to $10 million based on payroll calculations as outlined by the U.S. SBA.
• Loan payments will be deferred for  at least six months.
• If you maintain your workforce, borrower can request that 100% of loan proceeds used to cover the first 8 weeks of payroll and certain other qualified expenses following loan origination are forgiven by the SBA.
