1. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan forgiveness application process is changing.

This may not be so interesting, I am easily amused.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has released new forgiveness guidance, along with new application forms that they’ll start accepting in early March. The new process removes the requirement for supporting documentation for loans of $150,000 or less by using a revised Form 3508S. It also includes an expanded set of covered operations expenses including certain property damage costs, supplier costs, and worker protection expenses as eligible for forgiveness.

We expect to start accepting Forgiveness requests for 2020 PPP loans in early March
We know you are eager to submit your Forgiveness request. We expect to start accepting Forgiveness requests for 2020 PPP loans in early March.

We will let you know when we expect to start accepting Forgiveness requests for 2021 PPP loans. We’ll continue to process requests we have already received. If you made your request online, you can check the status of your request here. You’ll have time to request Forgiveness before you need to start making payments.

2. Congrats DU'ers

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve read, seen, or listened to this week?

I managed to get a copy of Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character) by Richard P Feynman. An amazing book, I highly recommend it.

3. I heard a dog bark RUFF this week...

I mean it sounded just like RUFF. I know that's what we say when we ask what does a dog say but I don't think I've ever heard one actually make the exact sound of ruff. I think I've heard woof before and I've heard arf but never just plain as day RUFF!

it is still hard to beat the space program for firing up the imagination and hope.
