• More flexibility to include eligible payroll and non-payroll expenses paid or incurred during the eight week period after receiving a PPP loan
• Step-by-step instructions on how to perform the calculations required by the CARES Act to confirm eligibility for loan forgiveness
• Borrower-friendly implementation of statuary exemptions from loan forgiveness reduction based on rehiring by June 30
• Addition of new exemption from the loan forgiveness reduction for borrowers who have made a good-faith, written offer to rehire workers that was declined
