APM Help is a group of AppFolio, Propertyware, Buildium and Property Management experts and are happy to assist in the loan application process. The government has approved a second round of PPP loans and funding on April 27th, so it's not too late to apply if you missed the first round of applications!

This blog will be updated as new information comes available.

Does the PPP loan cover sick days?

Yes, it covers payroll costs including paid vacation, parental, family, medical and sick leave. The employer could be entitled to a refundable tax credit for any sick time related to COVID-19. Review the specifications in this IRS article.

What documents do I need to qualify for Loan Forgiveness?

Up front, it seems pretty simple to get forgiveness on your PPP loan, but it might not be as straightforward as we originally thought. The American Institute of CPAs provided a step-by-step guide to calculating your loan forgiveness. You will need to provide the following documents to your lender after determining if you qualify for Loan Forgiveness:

Documents verifying the number of full-time equivalent employees on payroll and their pay rates, for the periods used to verify you met the staffing and pay requirements:

  • Payroll reports from your payroll provider
  • Payroll tax filings (Form 941)
  • Income, payroll, and unemployment insurance filings from your state
  • Documents verifying any retirement and health insurance contributions

Documents verifying your eligible interest, rent, and utility payments (canceled checks, payment receipts, account statements)

** requirements may vary by lender
