If you filed your EIDL Grant/Loan Application before Sunday, March 29 at 9:30 PM EST, the MSDA, in conjunction with Schiff & Associates, is recommending you reapply using the new website from the Small Business Administration (SBA).
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which provided additional assistance for small business owners and non-profits, including the opportunity to get up to a $10,000 Advance on an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). This Advance may be available even if your EIDL application was declined or is still pending, and will be forgiven.
Although many of you spent 3 or 4 hours completing the original EIDL application, it is important to fill out a new application using the streamlined process. This new application will take 30 minutes or less to complete. In order to qualify for the Advance, you need to submit this new application even if you previously submitted an EIDL application. Applying for the Advance will not impact the status or slow your existing application.
Since only $10 billion was allocated to the EIDL Grants, it is imperative that you fill out the streamlined application as soon as possible to give you the best chance of receiving the $10,000 advance.
Sincerely,
Marlene Shevenell, DDS
