The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) portal is now accepting new EIDL applications on a limited basis. According to SBA’s website, disaster loans are currently only available to qualified businesses in the agricultural sector. Agricultural companies have not traditionally been able to access SBA’s disaster loan program. That changed after the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship sent a letter to SBA informing them of Congress’ intent to open the EIDL program to agricultural businesses. SBA posted a notice of the change on its website on Tuesday, May 5. Due to the high number of disaster loan applications that have already been received by SBA, and the limited funding availability for the loan program, EIDL applications will only be accepted from agricultural companies until further notice.

SBA will continue to process applications for agricultural businesses that submitted a loan application through the EIDL portal prior to the regulatory change. Any disaster loan applications from businesses outside the agricultural industry that were submitted before the portal stopped accepting new applications are expected to be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
