Banks are starting to accept PPP Loan Forgiveness Applications. Should you apply now or wait?
There's no simple answer to this, it depends on your situation. Congress may still pass the $150K forgiveness by affidavit (no financials reqd), so if your loan is less than $150K it's probably worth waiting for. Likewise, there is a decision to make on whether to select the 8 or 24 week period for payroll.
Bottom line... don't rush off to file this before you consider your best options to make sure you get 100% loan forgiveness. Read full @Forbes article below

New Simplified PPP Loan forgiveness form 3508S for loans under $50K. The good news is the SBA just released new loan forgiveness rules for PPP loans under $50K. It's not the automatic forgiveness that was discussed, but it is simplified and relaxes a couple of rules. You don't have to show the math, BUT the SBA has the right to check it and ask for details. It's better than before, but not what was promised. See @forbes article for more.

Was Your PPP Loan Less Than $50,000? Life Just Got (A Little Bit) Easier
PPP Forgivness still not happening. Some banks started processing PPP loan forgiveness applications, BUT the SBA has not approved any loans for forgiveness as of yet.
There is still much confusion at the banks and SBA as to how to process loan forgiveness applications and as a result PPP loan forgiveness is at a standstill. Both the SBA and banks are hoping for the 150K forgiveness with a simple affidavit which is stuck in Congress. But a new wrinkly has emerged where businesses that also took EIDL loans may have the loan forgiveness taken off that loan. Bottom line, neither the bank nor the SBA have a clue what's going on or what to do...
