COVID-19 ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN (EIDL)
UPDATE AS OF APRIL 9, 2020
Aloha PMAG Physician,

Quick Facts for April 9, 2020:
Here is the most recent update regarding the COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL).

  • It might take longer than 3 days to receive the Advance due to overwhelming demands.
  • SBA scaled down the Advance to $1,000 per employee; up to $10,000.
  • U.S. Senator Brian Schatz’s summary page: click here.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  While the law provides that SBA shall provide the funds within 3 days of applying for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), overwhelming interest in the program has slowed the process . This makes it difficult to estimate when applicants will receive the advance.

Amount:
The law provides that applicants can request up to $10,000; however, because of high demand, the SBA has decided to scale the advance and will provide $1,000 per employee for up to ten employees. For example, an applicant with two employees would get $2,000, an applicant with ten employees would get $10,000, and an applicant with more than ten employees would still get $10,000.

Some physicians decide to apply for PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) Loan only and skip the EIDL.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan:
  • Available now through June 30, 2020.
  • U.S. Senator Brian Schatz’s summary page, click here.
  • Click here for an SBA PPP loan information and here to download an application.
  • Borrower Information Sheet, read more here.
  • Loan forgiveness for 8 weeks from loan date.
  • Can be used for payroll, rent, utility.
  • See below for lender information.
