The SBA has resumed processing EIDL applications that were submitted before April 15 and will process these on a first-come, first-served basis. The SBA will begin accepting new Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and EIDL Advance applications on a limited basis, but ONLY to provide relief to U.S. agricultural businesses.
Agricultural businesses (with fewer than 500 employees) includes those businesses engaged in the production of food and fiber, ranching, and raising of livestock, aquaculture, and all other farming and agricultural related industries.
At this time, only agricultural business applications will be accepted due to limitations in funding availability and the unprecedented submission of applications already received.
