U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin and U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Jovita Carranza issued the following statement regarding the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program:

“The SBA has processed more than 14 years' worth of loans in less than 14 days. The Paycheck Protection Program is saving millions of jobs and helping America’s small businesses make it through this challenging time. The EIDL program is also providing much-needed relief to people and businesses.

“By law, the SBA will not be able to issue new loan approvals once the programs experience a lapse in appropriations. 

“We urge Congress to appropriate additional funds for the Paycheck Protection Program — a critical and overwhelmingly bipartisan program — at which point we will once again be able to process loan applications, issue loan numbers, and protect millions more paychecks.

“The high demand we have seen underscores the need for hardworking Americans to have access to relief as soon as possible. We want every eligible small business to participate and get the resources they need.”

 

April 13, 2020

The Port Authority of Winona, with Opportunity Winona partners WNB Financial and Merchants Bank, has created an emergency loan fund to put cash in the hands of Winona’s small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tips About the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program

Source: Minnesota SBA Webinar 3/24/2020

*Elements of this program are subject to change.

  • The program is administered solely by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and loan amounts are based on a case-by-case basis.
  • SBA personnel believe the center is working off a 6-month timeline for the disaster. This could change depending on how prolonged the disaster is perceived to last. The disaster loan amount is partially based on an algorithm that takes into account expenses the business would’ve incurred over a 6-month time period had the disaster not occurred.
  • Electronic application through the SBA website is preferred as the fastest method to get your application processed.
  • Microsoft Edge is the preferred browser for electronic submission.
  • Clear the cache on your Internet browser (Microsoft Edge or other) before you begin. If you’re unsure how to do this, a simple “how to” Internet search will help with a step-by-step process.
  • Record your password. The SBA has no way to reset this at this time. If you lose your password, you have to start over.
  • Be sure to select Economic Injury (EIDL) box on Form 5 (Application). If you fail to select this box, your application will be kicked out.
  • An application can take up to 3 weeks to process. Complete tax returns are required for loans over $500,000.
  • You can modify a previously filed loan request. You will need the loan number issued by the SBA.
  • If approved for a loan, proceeds will be sent in installments. $25,000 to start, and if your loan is greater than $25,000, the next installment(s) are determined by the SBA loan officer.
  • The loan is structured with a 12-month deferral period, so no payments are due for the first 12 months. Principal and interest payments start at the end of 12 months based on the term of the loan set by the SBA loan officer.
  • See PowerPoint presentation for additional information.
