Disaster Loans

The new measure doubles the authorization of advance funds from the SBA for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) to $40 billion from $20 billion and extends it through December 31, 2021.

A new wrinkle is that the bill provides $20 billion for certain entities to receive the difference between $10,000 and the advance funds they received under the CARES Act. Eligible recipients include those with 300 or fewer employees located in low-income communities and that had economic losses of at least 30% over eight weeks compared with a similar period pre-pandemic.

Additionally, the new bill repeals the CARES Act provision that requires PPP forgiveness amounts to be reduced based on EIDL advances
