Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program Expands to Include Agriculture Businesses

Colorado Corn | May 4, 2020

May 4, 2020 — The Small Business Administration is opening Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and EIDL Advance Grant application for ag businesses at noon eastern standard time starting May 4, 2020. This program will be distributed on a first come first serve basis. The application was revised and will now take just 15-30 minutes.

For further information about the EIDL program visit www.coloradosbdc.org/covid.

Below is a statement from the SBA that outlines eligibility and links to the application.

New Eligibility for Economic Injury Disaster Loan and Advance
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, small business owners in all U.S. states, Washington D.C., and territories were able to apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan advance of up to $10,000. This advance is designed to provide economic relief to businesses that are currently experiencing a temporary loss of revenue. This loan advance will not have to be repaid.

SBA has resumed processing EIDL applications that were submitted before the portal stopped accepting new applications on April 15 and will be processing these applications on a first-come, first-served basis. SBA will begin accepting new Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and EIDL Advance applications on a limited basis only to provide relief to U.S. agricultural businesses.

The new eligibility is made possible as a result of the latest round of funds appropriated by Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At this time, only agricultural business applications will be accepted due to limitations in funding availability and the unprecedented submission of applications already received. Applicants who have already submitted their applications will continue to be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. For agricultural businesses that submitted an EIDL application through the streamlined application portal prior to the legislative change, SBA will process these applications without the need for re-applying.

Eligible agricultural businesses may apply for the Loan Advance here.
