SBA EIDL and Emergency EIDL Grants:

Data by State



Updated September 4, 2020

Congress made COVID-19-related economy injury an eligible expense for the Small Business
Administration's (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) in the Coronavirus Preparedness and
Response SupplementalAppropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-123). It also expanded EIDL eligibility for
certain businesses and organizations, and it established an Emergency EIDL Grant program as part of the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic SecurityAct (CARES Act; P.L. 116-136).

and payroll and other operating expenses. COVID- 19-related EIDLs have an interest rate of 3.75% for
businesses and 2.75% for nonprofits. EIDLs also have an automatic one-year deferment on repayment

$1,000 per employee, up to the statutory cap of $10,000.

EIDL Eligibility
