Please check back here frequently for updates. For more information on any of these programs, including if your business is eligible, please visit sba.gov.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
Update: The deadline to apply for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Funding was July 31, 2020. At this time, we can no longer accept applications.
For full program details, including loan forgiveness, visit the SBA website.
SBA PPP Loan Forgiveness
The CARES Act provides for forgiveness of up to the full principal amount of qualifying loans. This is based on the employer’s ability to maintain or quickly rehire employees and maintain salary levels. The PPP Flexibility Act was signed into law on June 5. This legislation made important changes to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), including to the terms of loan forgiveness. Until we receive additional guidance from the SBA, we will not be accepting PPP loan forgiveness applications.
Loan forgiveness is not automatic. If you are planning on requesting forgiveness of your PPP loan, you will need to submit an application through our online portal. Please review the SBA’s Form 3508 instructions and Form 3508 EZ instructions to determine which application is right for your business. It is recommended that you review, in detail, what is being requested of you for loan forgiveness.
If you received a PPP loan through the credit union, please check back frequently. We will provide a link to our online portal when it is time to submit your loan forgiveness application.
