The legislation would ensure that those business owners who received PPP funds will not have their loan forgiveness reduced by their EIDL Advance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmall businesses are the backbone of Colorado\u2019s economy, and for many of them, PPP loans and EIDL Advances have been their only lifelines,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Congressman Neguse.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThe bipartisan\u00a0<em>EIDL Forgiveness Act<\/em>\u00a0provides some relief to struggling small businesses when they need it most by helping them save thousands of dollars, allowing them to focus their limited resources on keeping their employees on the payrolls and their doors open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt the lives of hard-working Utahns across the state,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Curtis<\/strong>. \u201cThis is especially the case for the countless small businesses that are the foundation of Utah\u2019s economy. The Economic Injury Disaster Loan Forgiveness Act is a perfect example of how we can find pragmatic, bipartisan solutions to help small businesses across the country overcome the current set of circumstances and continue serving their communities without further interruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving my EIDL advance forgiven would be amazing! \u00a0My wife and son and I have been working day and night to keep our family run business alive,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Gerald Trainor,\u00a0<\/strong>owner of Two Hands Paperie in Boulder, Colorado.\u00a0 \u201cIf this bill passes, it would pay for 2 months of our rent and help us save the business we have worked so hard to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMenuTrinfo is a women-owned business that has been hit hard by the coronavirus shutdowns,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Betsy Craig,<\/strong>\u00a0owner of MenuTrinfo in Fort Collins. \u201cWe were grateful to receive a $7,000 EIDL advance, which we thought was a gift from the government to help us stay alive. To turn around and realize that we owed that money back because we got a PPP loan was a real punch in the gut. Every little bit matters right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) <\/em>Act established an emergency grant program, the EIDL Advance, which provided eligible businesses with $1,000 per employee up to a maximum of $10,000 to be used to keep employees on the payroll and other business expenses. If a small business received an EIDL Advance and a PPP loan, the Small Business Administration (SBA) deducts the PPP loan forgiveness amount by the amount of the EIDL Advance. The <em>EIDL Forgiveness Act <\/em>ensures that the amount of PPP loan forgiveness a small business receives shall be determined without regard to any amount the small business received under the EIDL Advance.<\/p>\n<p>To date, all available funds for the EIDL Advance have been allocated. As of July 15, 2020, 5,781,390 EIDL Advances were disbursed for a total of $20,000,000,000. For Colorado small businesses, a total of 87,334 EIDL Advances were disbursed for a total of $267,687,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C.\u2014 Congressman Joe Neguse (D-CO) and Congressman John Curtis (R-UT) introduced the\u00a0EIDL Forgiveness Act, bipartisan legislation that would exclude&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/2020\/09\/neguse-curtis-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-ensure-full-forgiveness-for-eidl-advances\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[2610,2611],"class_list":["post-35293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community-press-releases","tag-eidl-loans","tag-joe-neguse"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
