Paycheck Protection Plan and Maximizing Loan Forgiveness

Throughout the pandemic, our top priority has been helping clients navigate these uncharted times. Whether providing support when applying for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) or guidance around paid leave, work from home or return to work, we are here for you.

We are happy to share this 25-minute video covering important information and reminders about the PPP and the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA) which Congress passed on June 5. For those of you who received a PPP loan, now’s the time to educate yourselves on the approaching forgiveness process. We’ve provided a timestamp outline so you can quickly navigate to the most important sections.

Intro (0:00 – 1:20)

Pat Cleary, President and CEO of NAPEO (National Association of Professional Employer Organization) shares ways to maximize your PEO’s expertise during this time

Agenda (1:22)

  • PPP Forgiveness Process
  • PPPFA (Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act)
