FINANCIAL SERVICES Timothy Thomas
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM RECIPIENTS TO RECALL LAID OFF
EMPLOYEES Parishes and schools that received funding from Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans must offer jobs back to employees that were laid off. As such, these employees will no longer be eligible for unemployment compensation. Parishes and schools should bring employees back as soon as PPP funds are received and ensure that employees are paid as normal for the eight weeks following receipt of funds. Employers should use the Addendum #2 letter template to send to laid off employees. Under Michigan law, unemployment benefits are denied to seasonal employees who have been given a "reasonable assurance" of returning to their position at the start of the next season. Please use the Addendum #3 template to send to seasonal staff to meet the requirements of the “reasonable assurance” notice. Seasonal employees should only be paid through the original date employment was supposed to cease (e.g. if the plan was for a DRE to end seasonal employment at a particular date and not scheduled to be paid again until Fall). If any employee files for unemployment outside of the regular seasonal term, employers need to protest this claim to the Unemployment Insurance Agency. Please contact Tim Thomas with any questions at: [email protected]. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION LOANS THROUGH CARES ACT Parishes and schools in need of financial assistance may now apply for CARES Act funding from the Small Business Administration. Please find the necessary form to complete these applications attached Addendum #4. This information can also be found by visiting the diocesan website at www.dioceseofmarquette.org/response and clicking on the Parish-School Financial Assistance tab. Please also find the attached sample application form (Addendum #5). Please note that parishes and schools must also include the attached Addendum A (Addendum #6) to loan applications. Once copies are completed, signed, and reviewed, the applications should be sent to a local SBA Participating Lender. Please click here to find a participating lender in your area.
Page 5 of 36
Diocesan Communicator No. 6/2020
Note: to complete the “average monthly payroll” field, parishes and schools will first need to access the “I have 2019 Payroll Costs” report from Paycor. 1099 employees should be removed from calculations. Parishes and schools will then need to add monthly health and retirement costs to calculate total monthly payroll spending. Please use the spreadsheet showing health and retirement costs (Addendum #7) for diocesan parishes and schools for your calculation.
If you have any questions regarding your parish/school Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) application or need to review your application before review before submitting them to your SBA Participating Lender, please contact Tim Thomas at: [email protected], Carol Parker at: [email protected], John Waldo at: [email protected], or Irene McCauley at: [email protected] for additional assistance. PAYMENT SUSPENSIONS FROM APRIL 1 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 Parishes and schools experiencing financial strain from the effects of the coronavirus may defer payments for needy parish loans, hymnal loans, rents, UPCSA balances, U.P. Catholic subscriptions, and service agreements between April 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020. Please note that diocesan staff will continue to bill during this period. Parishes and schools are asked to continue payments for these debts and services if they are able to do so. 2020 PARISH ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (PAFR) The 2020 Parish Annual Financial Report will be available online on the Diocesan website at dioceseofmarquette.org/pafr on June 15th, 2020.

MARRIAGE PREPARATION POLICY
Introduction
In addition to the universal laws of the Church, this policy is established as particular law for the Diocese
of Marquette, in order to foster strong marriages and family life and to ensure that engaged couples are
adequately prepared to give themselves to each other in the life‐long marital partnership ordered to the
good of the spouses and the procreation and education of children. Marriage preparation is a key
moment for evangelization. We must strive to meet engaged couples where they are and accompany
them to take a step forward in their faith journey. Many engaged couples have not been well‐formed in
their faith. We are grateful that they desire to marry in the Church, and we approach them with open
and loving hearts. Now is an opportunity to help them encounter Christ. Through the process of
marriage preparation, may engaged couples deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and foster a love
for each other that is permanent, faithful, unconditional and fruitful, as Jesus loves us. May their
marriages be a beacon of Christ’s love in the world.
I. TheProcedureforMarriagePreparation
Normally, the process for marriage preparation should take at least six months. Pastors at their
discretion may shorten the time of preparation for serious reasons, provided that the requirements for
preparation may be fulfilled.
Modifications to the procedure described in this policy may be sought for just reasons in individual
circumstances by requesting a dispensation from the local ordinary.
The procedure for marriage preparation consists of four fundamental stages as follows:
1. The Initial Meeting with the Priest or Deacon assisting at the marriage.
The initial meeting serves an opportunity to meet the couple and lay a foundation forevangelization. In addition, necessary canonical requirements are initiated.
The priest or deacon are to meet with the engaged couple prior to scheduling the dateof the wedding.
The M‐A‐form, or Prenuptial Questionnaire, is to be completed to determine thefreedom to marry. If it is completed by someone other than the pastor it is to besubmitted to him (cf. Canon 1070).
The date of the wedding must not be scheduled until the freedom to marry isdetermined.
Arrangements are made to obtain affidavits concerning the freedom to marry. Suchaffidavits are used when there is a lack of evidence regarding the freedom to marry.
An annotated baptismal certificate that has been issued within the last six months is tobe requested from each of the baptized parties, and they must be obtained prior to thewedding.
The procedure for obtaining a marriage license is explained. The license must beobtained prior to the wedding. The marriage cannot be celebrated without the license.(cf. Canon 1071 §1, 2°).
Page 13 of 36
DIOCESEOFMARQUETTE3
MARRIAGE PREPARATION POLICY
Materials regarding the planning of the liturgy (e.g., choice of scripture readings, music, etc.) are distributed and discussed at the initial meeting.
2. Premarital Inventory
After the initial meeting the Prepare/Enrich inventory is administered by the priest, deacon, or mentor couple.
The couple complete the inventory online, and follow up sessions are conducted to discuss the results and facilitate the growth of the couple.
3. Formation in Faith and Virtue
This stage of marriage preparation is aimed at facilitating a deeper encounter with Jesus and growth in their faith practice, fostering weekly Mass attendance, providing catechesis on the Sacrament of Marriage and sexual morality, and forming the virtues necessary to live marriage fruitfully. In addition, couples of child‐bearing age are to be trained in Natural Family Planning.
This stage may be conducted by the priest, deacon, or mentor couple. It may be done individually, or in groups. It is recommended that a team approach be utilized, that the priest or deacon and the mentor couple be involved in this process. It is for the pastor to determine what is done by each. Vicariates and parishes may choose to collaborate to offer a marriage preparation retreat conducted by married couples. The online option below allows for preparation when the engaged couple lives at a distance.
Parishes are to choose one of the following three programs for this formation:
1. God’s Plan for a Joy‐Filled Marriage, Ascension Press.
2. Beloved: Finding Happiness in Marriage, Part 1: The Mystery and Meaning of Marriage. Augustine Institute.
3. CatholicMarriagePrep.com. Agape Ministries
It is preferred that training in Natural Family Planning is done through local teachers. However, if a local teacher is not available, NFP training can be completed online through the Couple to Couple League.
4. A final meeting, as needed, to plan and prepare for the liturgy celebrating matrimony.
II. ProcedureforConvalidations
The preparation for convalidations is to follow the procedure above. The overall time of preparation
may be shortened at the pastor’s discretion, and the third stage of formation in faith and virtue may be
adapted at the pastor’s discretion to the pastoral needs of the couple.

DIOCESEOFMARQUETTE4
MARRIAGE PREPARATION POLICY
III. Confirmation
Canon 1065 §1 states: “Catholics who have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation are to
receive it before they are admitted to marriage if it can be done without grave inconvenience.”
Therefore, unconfirmed Catholics are to be invited and encouraged to receive Confirmation prior to
their marriage. For the valid reception of Confirmation the following are required: the use of reason be
suitably instructed, properly disposed and able to renew the baptismal promises (Canon 889 §2).
However, since the lack of Confirmation is not an impediment to marriage, it is not grounds to deny the
Sacrament of Matrimony.
IV. PlaceofMarriage
According to canon 1118 §1. “A marriage between Catholics or between a Catholic party and a non‐
Catholic baptized party is to be celebrated in a parish church. It can be celebrated in another church or
oratory with the permission of the local ordinary or pastor.
§2. The local ordinary can permit a marriage to be celebrated in another suitable place.
§3. A marriage between a Catholic party and a non‐baptized party can be celebrated in a church or in
another suitable place.”
Dispensations for Catholics to marry outside of a church or oratory are granted only for serious reasons.
They are not granted for the preference of the engaged couple, for example, the request for an outdoor
wedding.
V. TheLiturgyCelebratingMatrimony
The liturgy is to be celebrated according to the approved liturgical books. In the Ordinary Form of the
Roman Rite, the appropriate rite is found in The Order of Celebrating Matrimony.
Secular elements (e.g., unity candle, sand ceremony, etc.) are not to be introduced into the liturgy and
are prohibited. If these are important to the engaged couple, it is recommended that they include them
in other plans to celebrate their marriage, such as their dinner or reception.
Secular music may not be used at the liturgy and is prohibited. If secular music is important to the
engaged couple, it is recommended that they include it in other plans to celebrate their marriage, such
as their dinner or reception.
Assistance regarding the liturgy and music may be requested of the Diocesan Director of Liturgy and the
Diocesan Director of Sacred Music.

DIOCESEOFMARQUETTE5
MARRIAGE PREPARATION POLICY
VI. DispensationsandPermissions
Marriage dispensations and permissions are to be requested from the Diocesan Curia at least one
month prior to the wedding.
VII. MarriagesOutsideoftheProperParishoftheParties
When a marriage is to take place in a parish that is not the parish of one of the parties, a letter from the
party’s pastor granting permission for the marriage should be included with the prenuptial investigation
documents (c. 1115). This letter should also outline the marriage preparation process undertaken by the
couple.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
When the marriage is to take place within the Diocese of Marquette in a parish other than the parish
where the prenuptial investigation has taken place, the documents are to be sent to the pastor of the
parish where the marriage is to take place.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
When the marriage is to take place outside of the Diocese of Marquette and if the prenuptial
investigation is conducted within the Diocese of Marquette, the transmission of these documents is to
be made through the Curia of the Diocese of Marquette. These records are to be sent to the
Chancellor’s office in Marquette along with requests for any necessary dispensations and/or permissions
for the couple to marry validly and licitly. The Chancellor will transmit the prenuptial investigation,
dispensations and permissions to the diocesan Curia of the place where the marriage is to take place.
To ensure timely transmittal of the prenuptial documentation the pastor who is conducting the
prenuptial investigation for a marriage to take place in another diocese is to send to the Curia of the
Diocese of Marquette, at least one month beforehand, all the prenuptial documents so they can be
transmitted to the diocesan Curia of the diocese of the place of marriage.

DIOCESEOFMARQUETTE6
MARRIAGE PREPARATION POLICY
When a marriage of a couple from a different diocese is to take place within the Diocese of Marquette,
the permission (nihil obstat) of the Curia of the Diocese of Marquette is required. The person who is
conducting the prenuptial investigation is to transmit the documents to his diocesan Curia who will
transmit it to the Curia of the Diocese of Marquette. Once the file has been granted the necessary
permission (nihil obstat), it will be transmitted by the Chancellor to the pastor of the parish where the
marriage is to take place. The pastor is to see to it that prenuptial documents are transmitted to the
Curia of the Diocese of Marquette at least one month beforehand so the necessary permission (nihil
obstat) can be granted.
VIII. DenyingandDelayingtheCelebrationoftheSacramentofMatrimony
Because people have a natural right to marry, the celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony may be
denied only because of the existence of an impediment (cf. canons 1083‐1094) or moral certainty that
consent would be invalid (cf. canons 1095‐1103). Serious pastoral problems such as cohabitation and
minimal faith practice need to be addressed, but they are not per se impediments to marriage.
Moreover, parishes are forbidden to establish additional requirements for the celebration of the
Sacrament, such as registered membership in the parish, financial contributions to the parish, etc.
While such practices may be encouraged, they cannot be mandated as sine qua non requirements to be
married.
During the course of marriage preparation, serious problems in the relationship of the engaged couple
may become evident. In such situations the celebration of the marriage may be delayed until the
problems are resolved through counseling or other appropriate assistance. In these circumstances we
embrace the engaged couple and walk with them through pastoral accompaniment.
IX. TheFacultytoAssistatMarriages
In the Diocese of Marquette pastors, parochial vicars, and deacons with parish assignments have the
faculty to assist at marriages in their parishes. If a priest or deacon that is not assigned to that parish is
to assist at the marriage, it is necessary that he obtain special delegation from someone who is
competent (i.e., the pastor, local ordinary or another who has general delegation to assist at marriages
in that parish). While verbal delegation is sufficient for validity, written evidence that the delegation has
been given should be placed in the marriage file.

MARRIAGE PREPARATION POLICY
X. TheMarriageSacramentalRegisterandPremaritalFile
The following repeats the policy on sacramental registers for convenience. Refer to the current
sacramental register policy on the diocesan website for more information on sacramental records and
examples.
MARRIAGE SACRAMENTAL REGISTER ENTRIES REQUIRED DATA
The following data are to be entered into the marriage register:
• Names of the spouses;
• Name of the person (e.g., the bishop, priest, or deacon) who assisted
• Names of the witnesses
• The date and place of the celebration of the marriage
Source of Data
The priest or deacon who assists at a marriage is responsible for communicating the necessary
information to the parish where the marriage was celebrated. The premarital file ordinarily contains all
the necessary information. However, the assisting minister should be alert to any last minute changes or
corrections (for example, the names of the witnesses) to the information contained in the premarital
file.
Marriage outside a Parish Church
When a marriage is celebrated in a location other than a parish church (e.g., a chapel or other sacred
place of regular worship and with permission of the Bishop), the proper parish for the marriage record is
the one in which that location stands. The only exception is when a marriage is celebrated with a
dispensation from canonical form (e.g., when a Catholic receives a dispensation to marry a Protestant in
the Protestant church). In that situation, the proper parish for the marriage record is the parish of the
Catholic party or the parish where the couple prepared for marriage.
Validation
When a marriage is validated (e.g., when Catholics, who were “married” outside of the Church without a
dispensation, now marry in the Catholic Church), the data concerning the validation are to be placed in
the usual columns. The date, place and official of the original ceremony are to be noted in the
“Notations” column.
Sanation
When a marriage is sanated by the Bishop or his delegate (e.g., when a marriage is validated without the
renewal of consent), the data concerning the original ceremony are to be placed in the usual columns.
The date, diocese and protocol number of the sanation are to be noted in the “Notations” column.
Previous Civil Marriage
The previous civil marriage of persons who are baptized or received into full communion with the
Catholic Church is not to be recorded in the Marriage Register, unless the previous marriage was invalid
and is now being validated or sanated. A notation concerning the marriage is to be placed in the
person’s baptismal record, in the “Notations” column.

DIOCESEOFMARQUETTE8
MARRIAGE PREPARATION POLICY
Notation of Dispensations and Declarations of Nullity
When a dispensation is granted prior to marriage, or a declaration of nullity (“annulment”) is granted
after marriage, the date, diocese and protocol number, along with the type of dispensation (e.g.,
“Dispensation from Disparity of Cult”) or “Declaration of Nullity”, are to be noted in the “Notations”
column. Any special recording directions that are contained in the dispensation or declaration of nullity
document are to be followed.
Notification of the Church of Baptism
When the marriage of a Catholic is celebrated, validated or sanated, the pastor of the parish where the
record of marriage is retained must notify the parish of baptism as soon as possible. This notification is
to include the names of the spouses and the date and place of the wedding, validation or sanation; the
names of the person who assisted and witnesses are not required.
PREMARITAL FILES
Contents
Each parish is required to maintain a file of the papers collected during the period of marriage
preparation. The file typically will include prenuptial forms, questionnaires, correspondence, notes and
dispensation documents. Also, the person who assisted at the marriage is to see to it that the marriage
license is promptly filed with the County Clerk.
Location
Ordinarily, the premarital file for each couple should be retained by the parish where the marriage is
recorded in the Marriage Register.
Filing
The file for each couple is to be kept in its own envelope or folder, clearly marked with the parties’
names and the date of the marriage. The files should be arranged in chronological order and kept
together in a locked file cabinet or safe.
Retention
The premarital files are to be retained for seventy‐five years. Expired files are to be destroyed or
otherwise disposed of so that no one can gain access to them.
Transmission of File
If a legitimate request for the original copy of the file is made by an ecclesiastical tribunal, or if the
Chancellor has approved the surrender of the file to a civil authority, the file should be hand delivered
and receipted or mailed by registered mail with a receipt. A photo static copy of the original file, along
with the receipt, should replace the original copy in the parish’s archive. If the original file is later
returned, the photo static copy should be destroyed.

I am pleased to notify you your position is now available, and this is your official recall notice. Please report to work on [date] at [time] and make contact with [name of supervisor]. Your pay and benefits eligibility will resume at the same level they were before layoff [OR] [will be changed to ______________].
Before that date, please contact [name of supervisor] no later than [date] to confirm your receipt of this notice and your intention to return to work.
Your work setting will be [in person at the office. Rest assured, we are mindful of the latest CDC guidance for workplaces, and have taken all reasonable measures, including the provision of masks and gloves, to make safety a priority.] [OR] [working remotely from home.] When you contact [name of supervisor] in response to this notice, you will be given additional information about your work.
If you do not report to work on the day and time indicated above, and you have not made other pre-approved arrangements with [name of supervisor] (e.g., leave for illness), we will treat the refusal of this recall as a “voluntary quit” in our personnel records.
Please do not hesitate to contact [name of contact] with any questions you may have regarding this notice. I look forward to working with you again!
Sincerely,

3 SBA Form 2483 (04/20)
Purpose of this form: This form is to be completed by the authorized representative of the Applicant and submitted to your SBA Participating Lender. Submission of the requested information is required to make a determination regarding eligibility for financial assistance. Failure to submit the information would affect that determination. Instructions for completing this form: With respect to “purpose of the loan,” payroll costs consist of compensation to employees (whose principal place of residence is the United States) in the form of salary, wages, commissions, or similar compensation; cash tips or the equivalent (based on employer records of past tips or, in the absence of such records, a reasonable, good-faith employer estimate of such tips); payment for vacation, parental, family, medical, or sick leave; allowance for separation or dismissal; payment for the provision of employee benefits consisting of group health care coverage, including insurance premiums, and retirement; payment of state and local taxes assessed on compensation of employees; and for an independent contractor or sole proprietor, wage, commissions, income, or net earnings from self-employment or similar compensation. For purposes of calculating “Average Monthly Payroll,” most Applicants will use the average monthly payroll for 2019, excluding costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. For seasonal businesses, the Applicant may elect to instead use average monthly payroll for the time period between February 15, 2019 and June 30, 2019, excluding costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. For new businesses, average monthly payroll may be calculated using the time period from January 1, 2020 to February 29, 2020, excluding costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. If Applicant is refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL): Add the outstanding amount of an EIDL made between January 31, 2020 and April 3, 2020, less the amount of any “advance” under an EIDL COVID-19 loan, to Loan Request as indicated on the form. All parties listed below are considered owners of the Applicant as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10, as well as “principals”:
For a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor;
For a partnership, all general partners, and all limited partners owning 20% or more of the equity of the firm;

Paperwork Reduction Act – You are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The estimated time for completing this application, including gathering data needed, is 8 minutes. Comments about this time or the information requested should be sent to : Small Business Administration, Director, Records Management Division, 409 3rd St., SW, Washington DC 20416., and/or SBA Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Washington DC 20503.
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) – Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide your social security number. Failure to provide your social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled. (But see Debt Collection Notice regarding taxpayer identification number below.) Disclosures of name and other personal identifiers are required to provide SBA with sufficient information to make a character determination. When evaluating character, SBA considers the person’s integrity, candor, and disposition toward criminal actions. Additionally, SBA is specifically authorized to verify your criminal history, or lack thereof, pursuant to section 7(a)(1)(B), 15 USC Section 636(a)(1)(B) of the Small Business Act (the Act). Disclosure of Information – Requests for information about another party may be denied unless SBA has the written permission of the individual to release the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is the disclosure of information maintained in SBA’s system of records when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature. Specifically, SBA may refer the information to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with responsibility for, or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use is disclosure to other Federal agencies conducting background checks but only to the extent the information is relevant to the requesting agencies' function. See, 74 F.R. 14890 (2009), and as amended from time to time for additional background and other routine uses. In addition, the CARES Act, requires SBA to register every loan made under the Paycheck Protection Act using the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) assigned to the borrower.
Debt Collection Act of 1982, Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (31 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. and other titles) – SBA must obtain your taxpayer identification number when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan, and do not make payments as they come due, SBA may: (1) report the status of your loan(s) to credit bureaus, (2) hire a collection agency to collect your loan, (3) offset your income tax refund or other amounts due to you from the Federal Government, (4) suspend or debar you or your company from doing business with the Federal Government, (5) refer your loan to the Department of Justice, or (6) foreclose on collateral or take other action permitted in the loan instruments.
Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3401) – The Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, grants SBA access rights to financial records held by financial institutions that are or have been doing business with you or your business including any financial

institutions participating in a loan or loan guaranty. SBA is only required provide a certificate of its compliance with the Act to a financial institution in connection with its first request for access to your financial records. SBA's access rights continue for the term of any approved loan guaranty agreement. SBA is also authorized to transfer to another Government authority any financial records concerning an approved loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process, service or foreclose on a loan guaranty or collect on a defaulted loan guaranty.
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) – Subject to certain exceptions, SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that will be automatically released includes, among other things, statistics on our loan programs (individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the borrowers (and their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), the collateral pledged to secure the loan, the amount of the loan, its purpose in general terms and the maturity. Proprietary data on a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be addressed to the nearest SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.
Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined, forced to cease operations, or prevented from starting operations. Signing this form is certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.
Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business practice, including employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of SBA Regulations. All borrowers must display the "Equal Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691) – Creditors are prohibited from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
Debarment and Suspension Executive Order 12549; (2 CFR Part 180 and Part 2700) – By submitting this loan application, you certify that neither the Applicant or any owner of the Applicant have within the past three years been: (a) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in a transaction by any Federal Agency; (b) formally proposed for debarment, with a final determination still pending; (c) indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against you for any of the offenses listed in the regulations or (d) delinquent on any amounts owed to the U.S. Government or its instrumentalities as of the date of execution of this certification.

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) – Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide your social security number. Failure to provide your social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled. (But see Debt Collection Notice regarding taxpayer identification number below.) Disclosures of name and other personal identifiers are required to provide SBA with sufficient information to make a character determination. When evaluating character, SBA considers the person’s integrity, candor, and disposition toward criminal actions. Additionally, SBA is specifically authorized to verify your criminal history, or lack thereof, pursuant to section 7(a)(1)(B), 15 USC Section 636(a)(1)(B) of the Small Business Act (the Act). Disclosure of Information – Requests for information about another party may be denied unless SBA has the written permission of the individual to release the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is the disclosure of information maintained in SBA’s system of records when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature. Specifically, SBA may refer the information to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with responsibility for, or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use is disclosure to other Federal agencies conducting background checks but only to the extent the information is relevant to the requesting agencies' function. See, 74 F.R. 14890 (2009), and as amended from time to time for additional background and other routine uses. In addition, the CARES Act, requires SBA to register every loan made under the Paycheck Protection Act using the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) assigned to the borrower.
Debt Collection Act of 1982, Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (31 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. and other titles) – SBA must obtain your taxpayer identification number when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan, and do not make payments as they come due, SBA may: (1) report the status of your loan(s) to credit bureaus, (2) hire a collection agency to collect your loan, (3) offset your income tax refund or other amounts due to you from the Federal Government, (4) suspend or debar you or your company from doing business with the Federal Government, (5) refer your loan to the Department of Justice, or (6) foreclose on collateral or take other action permitted in the loan instruments.
Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3401) – The Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, grants SBA access rights to financial records held by financial institutions that are or have been doing business with you or your business including any financial

institutions participating in a loan or loan guaranty. SBA is only required provide a certificate of its compliance with the Act to a financial institution in connection with its first request for access to your financial records. SBA's access rights continue for the term of any approved loan guaranty agreement. SBA is also authorized to transfer to another Government authority any financial records concerning an approved loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process, service or foreclose on a loan guaranty or collect on a defaulted loan guaranty.
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) – Subject to certain exceptions, SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that will be automatically released includes, among other things, statistics on our loan programs (individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the borrowers (and their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), the collateral pledged to secure the loan, the amount of the loan, its purpose in general terms and the maturity. Proprietary data on a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be addressed to the nearest SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.
Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined, forced to cease operations, or prevented from starting operations. Signing this form is certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.
Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business practice, including employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of SBA Regulations. All borrowers must display the "Equal Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691) – Creditors are prohibited from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
Debarment and Suspension Executive Order 12549; (2 CFR Part 180 and Part 2700) – By submitting this loan application, you certify that neither the Applicant or any owner of the Applicant have within the past three years been: (a) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in a transaction by any Federal Agency; (b) formally proposed for debarment, with a final determination still pending; (c) indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against you for any of the offenses listed in the regulations or (d) delinquent on any amounts owed to the U.S. Government or its instrumentalities as of the date of execution of this certification.

ADDENDUM A
The Applicant claims an exemption from all SBA affiliation rules applicable to PaycheckProtection Program loan eligibility because the Applicant has made a reasonable, goodfaith determination that the Applicant qualifies for a religious exemption under 13C.F.R. 121.103(b)(10), which says that “[t]he relationship of a faith-based organizationto another organization is not considered an affiliation with the other organization . . .if the relationship is based on a religious teaching or belief or otherwise constitutes apart of the exercise of religion.”
