Here's a quick guide to the EIDL grant, EIDL loan, and PPP loan programs from the brand-new stimulus package. The PPP loan program is going live this week and we expect the same from the EIDL grant program as well.

We highly recommend you download our free Skip app to use our EIDL tracker, PPP tracker, stimulus tracker, and more.

This is for informational purposes only and based on the current reading of the relief legislation signed into law on December 27, 2020. In the case of EIDL, the SBA has not issued final rules and guidance. This is not tax, accounting, or legal advice.

EIDL Grant

  • Up to $10,000 grant
  • $40B available in two $20B pots
  • “Targeted EIDL Advance” pot for $20B
  • “Emergency EIDL Advance” pot for $20B
  • More info on “Hello Skip” App or go to TrackEIDLGrant.com

Do You Qualify for “Targeted”?

  • Less than 300 employees
  • In low-income community (IRS definition)
  • Gross revenue loss 30% or more (8 week period)
  • If so, $10k less any previous advance

Do You Qualify for “Emergency”?

  • Expecting similar rules as first go-around
  • Geared toward people that did not receive first advance
  • In most cases, there was a credit check

Why Is Timing So Important?

  • Limited funding for both pots
  • “Targeted” example: 2 million businesses x $10K = $20B
  • “Emergency” example: 5 million businesses x $4K = $20B
  • First go-around: 5.6 million businesses got Advance ($3.6K avg)
