After finishing this episode, we got the following notice from the SBA. I would continue to monitor their site just in case more money becomes available. Lapse in Appropriations Notice: SBA is unable to accept new applications at this time for the Paycheck Protection Program or the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)-COVID-19 related assistance program (including EIDL Advances) based on available appropriations funding. EIDL applicants who have already submitted their applications will continue to be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is a direct email, which is official documentation or correspondence from them.    At this point, I am optimistic that some of these programs will help us weather the storm here.    I have this healthy distrust of my government when it comes to these things. But it sounds like they're sorting it out. Our government is revamping a lot of things as they go along. They've been slower than I would like. But we all have to be patient, especially during this unprecedented time.   I haven’t received any funds yet. But there are people getting it finally… so I finally had the courage to stand here behind the mic and tell you that these things are working to some extent for some people.    In this episode, you’ll hear: An overview of the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan information, who can apply, loan details and forgiveness How to use the SBA Local Assistance Tool to find lenders near you Available tools and resources (found below)   SBA General Information Copy of Small Business Administration Email Find SBA Local Assistance SBA COVID-19 Resources   Economic Injury Disaster Loan Loan Overview Apply Online Eligibility   Paycheck Protection Program Loan Information Who Can Apply Loan Details and Forgiveness Other Assistance Lender Forms and Guidance FAQ Find A Paycheck Protection Program Lender PPP Lender Form Lender Agreement SBA Standard Loan Note   Connect with Russell: Dr. Russell Kirk Podcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/businessofdentistrypodcast/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/businessofdentistry/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/businessdentist LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/business-of-dentistry/   *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.
