Application For The First Draw IFR Loan
The First Draw IFR includes changes to PPP due to the passage of the Economic Aid Act and also restates and consolidates several prior interim final rules.5 SBA consolidated these IFRs to provide a single IFR to consult on all aspects related to First Draw PPP Loans.6
Unlike PPP loans made prior to August 8, 2020, new first-time applicants, including farmers and ranchers, will have the ability to use either 2019 or 2020 when calculating their maximum loan amount.7 The maximum loan amount remains the lesser of 2.5x average monthly payroll or $10 million.
Covered eligible expenses are expanded and now include:
- Payroll costs
- Rent
- Mortgage interest
- Utilities
- Operations expenditures
- Property damage costs
- Supplier costs, and
- PPE (worker protection) expenditures.
