Paycheck Protection Program
New legislation signed into law on July 4 has authorized the Small Business Administration (SBA) to approve Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan applications through August 8, 2020. This is an extension from the SBA's original deadline of June 30, 2020.

With this extension, Bank of America will begin to accept new PPP loan applications at 5:00 p.m. ET on July 6.

In order to provide the necessary time for processing prior to the SBA’s updated August 8 deadline:
  • We will accept new PPP loan applications until 5:00 p.m. ET on July 24.
  • Applicants must provide all required supporting documentation (this does not include promissory notes) by 5:00 p.m. ET on July 31 in order for their application to proceed.
  • We will discontinue all application processing at 5:00 p.m. ET on August 7. Clients who applied, but have not received a SBA loan number by the time of the SBA’s August 8 cutoff, will be notified their application will not be processed and has been cancelled.
