(WOAY) – The Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act 2020 (H.R. 6074) expanded the Small Business Act’s definition of a disaster to include Coronavirus (COVID-19).
As a result, the SBA will be able to provide Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) under a Governor’s Certification Disaster Declaration. In order for SBA to issue an EIDL declaration, the Governor must submit a written request to SBA with supporting economic injury loss information that certifies at least five small businesses in a disaster area have suffered substantial economic injury as a result of the disaster.
If your small businesses has suffered substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus; as in being unable to meet obligations or to pay ordinary and necessary operating expenses please review the information below:
