The Economic Aid Act signed December 27, 2020 includes additional funding for Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) loans and grants. This article includes information about the Targeted EIDL grant application process provided by the SBA.

Congress has allocated another $20,000,000,000 in EIDL grants (advances) in the new stimulus bill. By way of background, the CARES Act that was passed March 27, 2020 included a grant (or advance) for those who applied for an EIDL loan due to the COVID-19 crisis, in the amount of up to $10,000. The SBA later determined that those grants would be made in an amount of $1000 per employee. In addition, the funds available for grants were exhausted before all eligible businesses received them. This legislation appears to help address some of these concerns.

Worth noting: Businesses that applied for an EIDL— even earlier in 2020– and meet the qualifications may receive the full $10,000 grant, minus any amount already received.
