Partnerships and seasonal employers may be eligible for increased loan amounts resulting from changes in the rules as to how their loans were originally calculated. Lenders may automatically request the SBA increase the loan amount for:
- Partnerships that received a loan based on payroll costs that did not include compensation paid to partners in their payroll costs. An interim final rule issued on April 14, 2020, now allows self-employment income of general active partners as allowed under the interim final rule posted on April 14, 2020; and
- Seasonal employers who received a loan based on payroll costs for one of the lookback periods specified in the CARES Act (the 12-week period beginning February 15, 2019, or March 1, 2019, to June 30, 2019) rather than the alternative lookback period adopted by the Treasury Department. Under the alternative rule, seasonal employers may use any consecutive 12-week period between May 1, 2019, and September 15, 2019.
No increased loan amount is available if the lender has already listed the loan on Form SBA 1502 filed with the SBA.
Partnerships and seasonal employers who might be eligible for these increased loan amounts should contact their lenders immediately to ensure they are applying for these increased loan amounts.
