A) I though you arent allowed to use the EIDL and PPP for the same thing.
B) Is the EIDL taken off the top? Meaning let's say you got 20k PPP and have 2 employees (so 2k advance grant). If taken off the top that would mean you calculate your 75% payroll at 18k (13,500). If taken off at the end then would be 75% of 20k (15,000).
A) the same thing meaning the same expense. (Example: Your rent is 1k. You can't tell PPP you used 1k for rent, and then tell EIDL you used their 1k for rent.)
B) Your PPP loan amount stays the same. When it comes to forgiveness they'll take Total PPP (20k) Minus Total EIDL Grant (2k)= PPP Forgiveness (18k). That leaves you with a loan balance of 2k, which is the amount you already got from EIDL.
Again, what they're saying is you're only eligible to get the total of your PPP forgiveness from the SBA. If you took some from our EIDL grant bucket, you'll need to make up the difference by deducting from your forgiveness.
If I'm not being clear maybe someone with better communication skills can chime in?
