Economic Injury Disaster Loans

U.S. Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loans

SBA

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to California small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the COVID-19. 


On March 16, 2020, San Diego County was declared a primary county due to the magnitude of Economic Injury Disaster Loan worksheets that were submitted to our office from local businesses. 

 

The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has provided the attached information regarding this declaration.  The attachment provides information pertaining to who may apply for the Economic Injury Disaster Loans and how to apply. 

 

Those that have completed and submitted worksheets, still need to apply at SBA’s website: www.sba.gov/disaster, or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov.  Further guidance on the application process can be found in the attached document. 

 

In coordination with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Disaster Assistance, Cal OES will be holding a call on Wednesday, March 18th at 4:00 PM to explain the SBA disaster loan application process and answer questions from small business support organizations.

 

The call will cover:

  • What the program is
  • How it works and how to apply
  • Common missteps or misunderstandings that impact business owner applicants
