3508S Forgiveness Application

3508S Form:

On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “Act”), a $900 billion legislative package that, among other things, renews the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The Act allocates $284.45 billion for PPP loans to eligible new borrowers, as well as a second-draw to qualifying borrowers that already received a loan under the first round of PPP funding. As part of the new legislation, on January 19, 2021, the SBA released a streamlined forgiveness application for all PPP loans of $150,000 or less. 

Form 3508S applies to borrowers who meets the following criteria:

SBA Form 3508S requires fewer calculations and less documentation for eligible borrowers. Borrowers can apply for forgiveness of your First or Second Draw Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan using SBA Form 3508S only if your loan amount was $150,000 or less for a First or Second Draw PPP Loan.  

• If you are not eligible to use this form, you must apply for forgiveness of your PPP loan using SBA Form 3508 or  3508EZ. 
• Each PPP loan must use a separate loan forgiveness application form.  You cannot use one form to apply for forgiveness of both a First and Second Draw PPP loan.
• SBA Form 3508S does not require borrowers to show the calculations used to determine their loan forgiveness amount.  However, SBA may request information and documents to review those calculations as part of its loan review or audit processes. 
• Complete this SBA Form 3508S in accordance with the instructions below, and submit it to your Lender (or the Lender that is servicing your loan).
