The U.S. Senate approved an extension for the Paycheck Protection Program. This provides lenders an additional 60-days to complete and submit applications to the Small Business Administration for processing by May 31, 2021.
- In order to provide the necessary time to process loan applications before May 31, HVCU will only be accepting applications submitted through our PPP Application Portal. The last day we will accept applications will be May 17, 2021 at 5 pm ET (subject to change), or for as long as funds remain available, whichever comes first.
- Completed applications will be processed in the order in which they are received. We are unable to guarantee the availability of funds.
- Applicants must provide all required supporting documentation by 5 p.m. ET on May 20, 2021 in order for their loan application to proceed. If an applicant has already received an earlier deadline to submit required documentation, all documentation must be submitted by that earlier date.
- Due to the large volume of applications and the push to ensure funding for as many applicants as possible, we cannot provide exceptions to the May 17th application deadline or the May 20th date to submit documentation.

PPP Schedule C Update
Self-employed and gig workers can now apply for PPP loans using gross income under new rules. In an effort to expand access to the nation’s smallest businesses, sole proprietors will have an opportunity to take advantage of a new loan calculation. Interim final rules were released on March 3, 2021. SBA Form 2483-C is now available through HVCU’s application portal. To apply using this calculation, please select the checkbox for Form 2483-C under “Form Type” as shown below.

Second-Draw PPP Loans
The promissory note from your first PPP loan contains your SBA Loan Number. You will need your SBA Loan Number to apply for a Second-Draw PPP loan. If you cannot locate your SBA Loan Number, please email us at commerciallending@hvfcu.org.

As a previous PPP loan borrower, the only required documentation needed to process your second-draw loan is one of the following: Internally prepared quarterly financial statements (Profit & Loss) for any comparable quarter(s) in 2019 and 2020 showing a reduction in gross receipts of at least 25%. For example: Q2 2019 and Q2 2020.
Proof of reduction on an annualized basis in the form of tax returns can also be submitted if available.
