The Small Business Administration (SBA) has run out of money to fund the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, which means the COVID-19 Small Business Relief Funds have currently been exhausted.
On its website, the SBA posted a notice that read, “The SBA is currently unable to accept new applications for the Paycheck Protection Program based on available appropriations funding.”
If you were planning on applying for either program, don’t panic. Chances are good that more relief may be on the way. Congress is currently working on another appropriation to pick up where these funding plans left off, and talks will resume next week.
