EIDL and Paycheck Protection Programs Temporarily Out of Funds
The Small Business Association (SBA) has announced the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is temporarily out of funds. Applications already approved by the SBA will still receive funds, and those submitted to the SBA website by their lender will still be processed. Lenders are signaling to clients they should continue to submit applications to be put in a “queue” for future processing. There is hope Congress will provide additional funds to this program in the coming weeks.
The SBA is unable to accept new applications at this time for the EIDL because the funding capacity has been reached. The SBA has not provided specific guidance as to when the application portal will be reopened, as it awaits more funding approval. Those who have already submitted their applications will continue to be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. General guidance says applicants can expect to hear from a SBA Loan Officer 4-8 weeks after submitting their application. Once an application is approved, the advance is funded in as little as a few days to a few weeks.
Starting April 21st, the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program will be taking applications for individuals and the self-employed. Those who are self-employed cannot receive both a PPP loan and unemployment insurance for the same period. Depending on the amount, it might be in your best interest to still file for PPP, if you haven’t already. Self-employed individuals should review both options and determine which would be more beneficial. The Wisconsin website indicates that unemployment benefits will be based on 1% of a self-employed individual’s 2019 net income. The minimum weekly benefit amount for unemployment is $163, and the maximum is $370 per week; an individual will receive this amount, plus an additional $600/week as per stipulations of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
