One of the most common questions we get in our office relating to the PPP second draw loan program is, do I need to have my first PPP loan forgiven to apply for the second PPP loan?

Okay. It’s the forgiveness process that may take a while. So it’s good news that you do not need to have your first PPP loan forgiven to apply for the second PPP loan. Remember that? To get the second draw loan of PPP. You only have to meet three eligibility requirements. The first is that you have received a first PPP loan and used the funds or will use the funds accordingly.

And you can apply for it as well not, but to get the second PPP draw loan, you must have received the first PPP. The second eligibility requirement is that you cannot have more than 300 employees. And most importantly, you have to show that you had at least a 25% reduction in revenue. Okay. Of compare comparable quarters of 2020 compared to 2019.
