COVID-19 EIDL Funds Running Out
The Small Business Administration (SBA) has recently announced that COVID-19 EIDL funds are expected to be exhausted in April 2022.
As of January 1, 2022, the SBA stopped accepting applications for new COVID EIDL loans or advances. However, borrowers can request increases up to their maximum eligible loan amount for up to two years after their loan origination date, or until the funds are exhausted, whichever is soonest.
If you have received an EIDL loan, you may be eligible for an increase in your loan amount if you need additional financing for your business. If you would like to request an increase in the amount of your COVID-19 EIDL, you are advised to do it ASAP.
Steps to request a COVID-19 EIDL increase:
- Prior to requesting an increase, confirm your loan eligibility and review the FAQs at: https://www.sba.gov/document/support-faq-regarding-covid-19-eidl.
- Log onto your Account on the SBA Portal to submit a loan modification Request (do not apply for another loan).
- Complete the portal steps and submit relevant documents, including a new version of your IRS Form 4506-T for COVID EIDL.
- Respond to SBA requests for signature, confirmation, and documents.
All loan increase requests will be processed in the order received and are subject to availability of funds.
