SBA Borrowers: Beware Email Phishing Scams

The U.S. Small Business Administration is sending a cyber warning alert to loan applicants seeking federal aid in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Email phishing campaigns where malicious actors are impersonating the SBA and its Office of Disaster Assistance to collect personally identifiable information (PII) for fraudulent purposes have surfaced.

The SBA is particularly concerned about scam emails targeting applicants of the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program asking them to verify their accounts using a third-party online platform to collect personally identifiable information.

It should be noted that any email communication from the SBA will come from email accounts ending in sba.gov, and nothing more. Loan applicants are being advised to look out for email scams and phishing attacks using the SBA logo. These may be attempts to obtain PII, access personal banking accounts, or install ransomware or malware.

Applicants are also advised to help protect their identity and privacy by never providing their full name, date of birth, Social Security Number, address, phone numbers, email addresses, case numbers, or any other PII in public-facing comments or responses to third-party emails.

The SBA will not use a third-party platform to:

  • Actively seek PII
  • Search a third-party platform for or by PII, or
  • "Follow" public users proactively without a waiver.

Borrowers who are in the process of applying for an SBA loan and receive email correspondence asking for PII are cautioned to ensure that any application numbers referenced in the email are consistent with their actual application number. Loan applicants and borrowers are also advised not to click on any links or open any attachments, which are often used in phishing email scams.

Additionally, federal agencies that provide disaster recovery assistance will never ask for a fee or payment to apply for financial assistance, and government employees do not charge for any recovery assistance provided.

An SBA logo on a web page does not guarantee the information is either accurate or endorsed by the SBA. Loan applicants and borrowers should be vigilant in protecting their personal information and data assets. Visit https://www.sba.gov/COVIDfraudalert to learn more about scams and fraud schemes.

If you suspect an email is associated with a fraud scam targeting the SBA, report it to the Office of Inspector General’s Hotline at 800-767-0385 or online at https://www.sba.gov/COVIDfraudalert.

Loan applicants who have questions about SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program may call the Disaster Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 (TTY: 1-800-877-8339) or send an email to [email protected].

Paycheck Protection Program Extended to August 8, 2020

July 1, 2020

The United States Senate has passed an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program for small businesses. With funding left over, the program will continue to accept applications until August 8, 2020. PS Bank is an eligible SBA lender and can help you through this process.

This program provides cash-flow assistance through 100% federally guaranteed loans to eligible employers who maintain their payroll through this emergency. Eligible employers are generally considered to be those small businesses, including nonprofits, sole proprietorships, independent contractors, and eligible self-employed individuals, with less than 500 employees.

PPP loan money used for payroll in accordance with guidelines do not have to be repaid.

Eligible small businesses may receive up to 2.5 times average monthly payroll costs as calculated by applicable guidelines. Payroll costs are defined to include salaries, wages, other similar compensation, vacation, sick and other qualified leaves, group health care benefits, retirement benefits, and state or local tax assessed on employee compensation (also subject to certain limits). Loan proceeds may be used to pay payroll costs, health insurance, interest on mortgage obligations, rent, utilities, interest on other debt, and certain other allowable uses. Most importantly, these loans may be eligible for forgiveness.

New EZ and Revised Forgiveness Applications for the Paycheck Protection Program

June 19, 2020

The Paycheck Protection Program program includes the process of application for forgiveness. If you have received PS Bank funds as part of the Paycheck Protection Program, please read and review the following information very carefully as many revisions have been instituted in connection with the recently passed PPP Flexibility Act of 2020.

The U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, recently posted a revised, borrower-friendly Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness application implementing the PPP Flexibility Act of 2020, signed into law by President Trump on June 5, 2020.

In addition to revising the full forgiveness application, SBA also published a new EZ version of the forgiveness application that applies to borrowers that:

  • Are self-employed and have no employees; OR
  • Did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%, and did not reduce the number or hours of their employees; OR
  • Experienced reductions in business activity as a result of health directives related to COVID-19, and did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%. The EZ application requires fewer calculations and less documentation for eligible borrowers. Details regarding the applicability of these provisions are available in the instructions to the new EZ application form.

Both applications give borrowers the option of using the original 8-week covered period (if their loan was made before June 5, 2020) or an extended 24-week covered period. These changes will result in a more efficient process and make it easier for businesses to realize full forgiveness of their PPP loan.

SBA guidance recommends PPP borrowers consult with their accounting professionals and payroll processors for assistance with gathering the required information and choosing and completing the appropriate Forgiveness Application.
