About the PPP Direct Forgiveness Portal 

The SBA launched a streamlined application portal to allow borrowers with Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans of $150,000 or less through participating lenders to apply for forgiveness directly through the SBA. 

The new forgiveness platform began accepting applications from borrowers on August 4th, 2021. Borrowers that need assistance or have questions should call (877) 552-2692, Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. CST.
