On September 9, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman announced major enhancements to the COVID Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, a federal disaster relief loan designed to better serve and support our small business communities still reeling from the pandemic. The SBA is ready to receive new applications immediately from small businesses looking to take advantage of these new policy changes.

The SBA Upstate New York District Office will lead a webinar providing an overview of the changes to the program, instructions for how to apply, and resources for applicants. There will also be an opportunity for participants to ask questions.
