SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program

The following provides you with information and tips regarding the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program and application process.

I. Online Portal: We have been informed that the webpage for SBA disaster assistance has either stalled or crashed. Because the rest of the country is also logging onto the portal, the system becomes overwhelmed. The best times to apply online using the portal would be earlier in the day or later at night.

    II. New Form Upload Option: As the EIDL applications continue to surge, SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance has provided an alternate method for applicants to submit and upload forms while the application portal is down for maintenance. 

    • New Application Upload Submission Page

      • Instructions are included on how to upload documents.
      • Page has links to all relevant forms, and they are also linked in this email below.
      • You may have to clear your browser cache if you receive an error accessing this page.
      • The SBA is advising businesses to fill out the PDF forms and reach out to SBDC if they need assistance with compiling the financial information. You may request assistance with the application at www.nyssbdc.org.
      • Additional items required: In addition to the attached forms, applicants will also need to submit the most recently filed tax returns or a justification if not available.

    • Helpful notes on filling out the forms:

      • Sole proprietors are required to complete the 5C loan application form. All other businesses should fill out the form 5 business loan application.
      • On all forms “Damaged Property” simply refers to your primary location for the operations of the business.
      • On Form 5, skip box 15, this only applies to property damage loans.
      • There is no specific location to input a requested loan amount. The loan amount is determined by the supporting documents and any other relevant financial information provided that substantiates the economic injury.
      • All owners with 20% or greater ownership in the business must be included in the application.

      How Does the Congressional Coronavirus Relief Bill Affect Nonprofits?

      While we await a House vote today, here is the latest analysis.

      The National Council of Nonprofits has published an initial analysis of the federal bill, which passed the Senate late Wednesday. Access to loans and a new charitable giving incentive are included in the proposal.

      Nonprofit New York also has a guide to the federal bill as well as initiatives on a local and state level. This includes an analysis for New York City that is not relevant for Westchester nonprofits.
