On May 3, 2021 the National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders released a prediction that the PPP funds would run out by the end of that day. On May 4, 2021 no more applications were being accepted by the SBA from anyone but Community Financial Institutions which include: Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs), Certified Development Companies (CDCs) and Microloan Intermediaries. The SBA has yet to make a public statement about the program’s status and remaining funds in the PPP program. However, as mentioned, only applications from the listed Community Financial Institutions are being accepted at this time. It is MidCountry Bank’s position that the SBA’s PPP program is closed to new applications. As a result of this announcement, MidCountry Bank must suspend the online portal link for new applicants and work to secure funds for those applicants submitted all the way to the SBA prior to May 3, 2021.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Extension Act of 2021 was just signed into law. Under this Act, the deadline for PPP applications to be submitted to the SBA will be extended to May 31, 2021. The SBA will then have until June 30, 2021 to approve the applications submitted.
MidCountry Bank is continuing to accept applications through our portal. We will accept applications until May 24th, 2021 to ensure adequate time to process and submit them to the SBA by the new deadline.

Our PPP Loan Application site is now open.
The process is very simple, but contact one of our Team Members for any assistance required.
PPP First Draw Loans are available to anyone who qualifies according the U.S. Treasury and SBA.
Second Draw Loans are available for borrowers who already received a First Draw PPP loan in 2020. To qualify for a Second Draw PPP Loan, borrowers would have received a First Draw Loan in 2020, would have fewer than 300 employees (exceptions for 500 exist for certain types of businesses), and have experienced a 25% or greater revenue decline due to Covid-19 in any one quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter of 2019 (exceptions exist for annual comparison). The maximum loan request for Second Draw Loans is $2,000,000. Please check for other critical information at the U.S. Treasury and SBA websites.
3 things to have ready when you start the application:
- Your monthly payroll amount
- Amount of the PPP loan from 2020
- SBA loan number from 2020
