EIDL advance used to be deducted from PPP forgiveness, that is no longer the case.
For both the EIDL and new round of PPP loans, the applicant still has to attest that the loans are necessary to support ongoing operations. That’s a trickier question for my business now than it was when the first round of PPP was rolled out. I can still make a good argument given the uncertainty of what’s coming in 2021.
Maximum Loan Amount**
Eligible entities may obtain a second draw loan in an amount equal to
the lesser of (a) the product obtained by multiplying (i) at the election
of the eligible entity, the average total monthly payment for payroll
costs incurred or paid by the eligible entity during (x) the 1-year period
before the date on which the loan is made, or (y) calendar year 2019, by
2.5, or (b) $2 million.
**The formula varies for seasonal employers, new entities (that did not exist
during the 1-year period preceding February 15, 2020), and businesses in
the accommodation and food services sector.
An entity that received both an EIDL advance and a PPP loan is no longer
subject to a reduction in the PPP loan forgiveness amount due to its receipt of
an EIDL advance. That is, an entity may be eligible for full forgiveness of the
PPP loan (subject to use of the loan proceeds for allowable purposes and
compliance with all other loan requirements, generally, including eligibility
requirements) notwithstanding its receipt of an EIDL grant.
$10,000 without regard to whether the loan (EIDL) is approved, whether
recipient accepts the loan, and whether recipient received a PPP loan.
o If recipient previously received an emergency EIDL grant, applicant may only receive the difference between $10,000 and the amount previously received as an EIDL grant.
