Loan applications approved by PIDA beginning at its February 2008 board meeting and until further notice will be subject to the interest rate and participation rate schedule set forth in the respective counties as determined by the most recent applicable unemployment statistics and will remain in effect until changed by a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The rates are attached to this Notice as Annex A.

   The PIDA Board retains the right to waive or modify the interest rates on a case by case basis for good cause shown.
