Apparently it varies by lender (BlueVine is a platform, not a lender). Your loan docs from BlueVine (Docusign) should tell you who the actual lender is.
For instance, it seems CrossRiver via BlueVine borrowers can request forgiveness on a platform called Scratch.
Correct, and although Scratch allows you to apply for Forgiveness now, they display this message:
ATTENTION: YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM WAITING TO SUBMIT THIS FORGIVENESS APPLICATION. CHANGES ARE COMING TO THE PPP FORGIVENESS PROCESS THAT MAY MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR MORE FORGIVENESS.
A new law was recently enacted that includes changes to the PPP forgiveness application. You may benefit from waiting to submit your application so you can take advantage of the upcoming updates, which are not available in today’s forgiveness application:
New categories of expenses will be eligible for forgiveness, including certain operational costs (such as business software), certain supplier costs, COVID-19 worker protection costs (such as personal protective equipment or changes to your business space for safety), and property damage costs not covered by insurance. Read more about newly forgivable expenses here.
The forgiveness application will be simplified for loans of $150,000 and under.
Borrowers will be able to change their covered period to end any day that’s between 8 and 24 weeks after their loan disbursement date.
If you would like to take advantage of these changes, we recommend you wait to submit your forgiveness application until the updated application is released in February 2021. You’ll receive a notification over email when this application is available.
If you don’t expect the above changes to affect your forgiveness amount, it’s okay to go ahead and submit your forgiveness application now.
Remember that your PPP loan will not enter repayment until 10 months after the end of your covered period. You can apply for forgiveness at any point before the maturity date of your loan.
