3/13/20: Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program

About the EIDL program: EIDLs provide small businesses with working capital loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses until normal operations resume.

The MA Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and Baker-Polito Administration are working closely with the U.S. SBA to activate the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program which would provide assistance to eligible businesses and non-profits impacted by COVID-19.

The first step in this process is to meet a minimum threshold of affected businesses within MA.
 
Affected small businesses and non-profits should download, complete, and submit the SBA EIDL Worksheet  https://lnkd.in/ewF7VBy  & Instructions to expedite activation of the EIDL program.
 
Completed forms can be submitted by email to Disaster.Recovery@mass.gov or by fax to (508) 820-1401.  If you do fax the form, please include your e mail.  Please note: This initial survey form is NOT a SBA loan application. 
 
When the EIDL program is activated, you will be contacted to apply directly to the SBA and their website will be updated with application details. For questions, please contact Disaster.Recovery@mass.gov
