Loan Forgiveness - PPP Loans Less than $150,000

The SBA has launched a new way to directly apply for PPP Loan Forgiveness and we are proud to offer this solution as a service to help you reach full forgiveness. This is now the only way to apply for loan forgiveness for loans less than $150,000. Valley First can no longer directly take forgiveness applications for loans less than $150,000.
 
 

SBA is also directly providing forgiveness application support – unfortunately we are unable to assist or answer any questions. You can contact SBA PPP Direct Forgiveness Customer Service by calling 877-552-2692. You can also access the Forgiveness Portal User Guide here. 

 
Failure to complete this application will soon result in the requirement to begin making payments on this loan obligation.

Additional Information and Resources
 

Please remember each borrower situation is very different and only you, and professionals you may consult with, know when it’s appropriate. Here are important points for you to consider:
 
  • You should consult with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who may be able to further assist with record keeping, reviewing compensation levels and how those impact your ability to apply for loan forgiveness.
  • While Valley First is here to support you, each borrower’s situation is different and only a tax professional can advise on how each item impacts the ability to qualify for forgiveness.
  • It is also the individual member’s responsibility to understand the ability to qualify for forgiveness. The majority of forgiveness-related questions we receive are answered in this FAQ from the SBA.
  • When you do apply for forgiveness, it is at your own discretion. Valley First cannot consult on the appropriate time for your individual situation.
  • Please also remember that we cannot accept paper or emailed copies of the required documentation (see below for the list.) All documents must be submitted through the loan portal with the information provided in your loan confirmation.

PPP Round 2  

On May 4, 2021, the Small Business Administration informed trade associations that Paycheck Protection Program funding has been exhausted and the PPP application portal has now stopped accepting applications for loans from most lenders.
 
We know the information on these loans is ever-changing and can be overwhelming. Since PPP Loans are a highly specialized product, your tax advisor and the SBA are your best sources of information. Valley First is a provider for these loans but cannot consult on individual situations due to specific regulations from the SBA.
