SBA Good Faith Review

How will SBA review borrowers’ required good-faith certification concerning the necessity of their loan request?

Anyone who received PPP loans with an original principal amount of less than $2 million will be deemed to have made the required certification concerning the necessity of the loan in good faith. PPP loans in excess of $2 million will be subject to review by SBA for compliance. If SBA determines that a borrower lacked adequate basis for the required certification concerning the necessity of the loan request, SBA will seek repayment of the outstanding PPP loan balance and will inform the lender that the borrower is not eligible for loan forgiveness.
