ELIGIBILITY.
(a) Definitions.--In this section--
(1) the term ``covered loan'' means a loan made under
paragraph (36) or (37) of section 7(a) of the Small Business
Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a));
(2) the term ``eligible applicant'' means a taxpayer that
files Internal Revenue Service Form 1040, Schedule C; and

rule of the Small Business Administration entitled ``Business

Revisions to Loan Amount Calculation and Eligibility'',
Docket Number SBA-2021-0010.
(b) Calculation of Maximum Loan Amount for Certain
Applicants.--
(1) In general.--An eligible applicant applying for a
covered loan may calculate the maximum amount of the covered
loan using the gross income of the eligible applicant, as
reported on the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form
1040, Schedule C filed by the eligible applicant.
(2) Retroactive effect.--Notwithstanding any provision of
the interim final rule, paragraph (1) shall apply with
respect to any covered loan made to an eligible applicant
that is approved on or after the date of enactment of the
Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and
Venues Act (title III of division N of Public Law 116-260).
(c) Recalculation.--
(1) In general.--With respect to a covered loan made to an
eligible applicant that was approved during the period
beginning on the date of enactment of the Economic Aid to
Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (title
III of division N of Public Law 116-260) and ending on the
day before the date of enactment of this Act, the eligible
applicant may submit to the lender with respect to the
covered loan a request to recalculate the amount of the
covered loan based on the application of this section.
(2) Supplemental payments.--If, after receiving a request
from an eligible applicant under paragraph (1), the
applicable lender determines that the amount of the
applicable covered loan, because of the application of this
section, would be greater than the amount of the covered loan
originally made to the eligible applicant, the lender shall
provide to the eligible applicant a payment that is equal to
the difference between the amount of the covered loan
originally made to the eligible applicant and the amount of
the covered loan based on the application of this section.
