In late July 2022, after consideration of the Petition for Appeal and an internal "second review" process, SBA's Office of General Counsel reconsidered the denial of loan forgiveness and forgave the loan. Based on the favorable reconsideration by SBA, the appeal will be dismissed without a formal decision from OHA. "We couldn't be more pleased for our client with the result of this appeal," remarked Matt Feinberg, who led PilieroMazza's team. "We have filed a number of PPP forgiveness appeals so far where we are waiting for decisions from SBA or OHA. SBA's decision in this case shows that the PPP loan forgiveness appeal process can work for small businesses who met the eligibility requirements for the program and received an erroneous forgiveness decision."
