Content clarifies key steps in Paycheck Protection Program loan payment process
Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions has created an informational, multi-part podcast with J.R. Bruno Associates, "COVID-19: 1502 Reporting Under the Paycheck Protection Program," to offer lenders guidance on completing and filing Form 1502. A successful filing of Form 1502 to the Small Business Administration (SBA) triggers payment of loan processing fees to lenders under the U.S. CARES Act's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Episode One, "Ongoing 1502 Filing Requirements and Common Errors to Avoid," has been recorded and provides listeners an overview of PPP lender obligations and outlines common missteps in the Form 1502 reporting process. Episode Two, "PPP Legislative Updates That Impact 1502 Filings and Procedures for Submission," will delve more deeply into the intricacies and nuances of 1502 filings, including servicing, cancellations and delinquencies. Subsequent podcasts are planned.

Agarwal has helped oversee the implementation of Compliance Solutions' Paycheck Protection Program Supported by TSoftPlus, which has helped lenders assist Main Street small businesses access critical PPP funding to support their business and, in the process, helped retain approximately one million U.S. jobs under the CARES Act.

Complying with Form 1502 reporting requirements under the Paycheck Protection Program can be complicated. Filing the 1502 Disbursement report is similar but handled differently from the regular SBA 7(a) loan program. It is important that lenders comply with the criteria to ensure they can collect fees in a timely manner. Even seasoned SBA lenders will glean insights on PPP-specific 1502 reporting requirements, and lenders new to SBA loans will gain understanding of the key elements to filing PPP 1502 reports. These podcasts provide more clarification on requirements for a successful filing and address some of the most common questions raised by lenders.
