Re: Paycheck Protection Program Loan Forgiveness Guidance

Dear Administrator Carranza,

On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) urges you to immediately release guidance regarding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness as required under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (H.R. 748). Section 1106 (“Loan Forgiveness”) of the CARES Act dictates, “Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall issue guidance and regulations implementing this section.” The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and thus the thirty-day mark has since passed without the Small Business Administration (SBA) issuing loan forgiveness guidance.
