Additionally, we wanted to point out for our clients and friends, the key provision of the CARES Act establishing the Emergency EID Grant, which serves as an advance on the EIDL loan. The Emergency EIDL Grant is applicable for the following entities:

• A business, ESOP, cooperative, or tribal small business concern with less than 500 employees

• Sole proprietors and independent contractors

• Private nonprofit organization

• Small agricultural cooperatives

 

This grant provides a cash advance of up to $10,000 within 3 days of application, and repayment is not required, even if subsequently denied a loan. The advance must be used to:

• Provide paid sick leave to employees unable to work due to the direct effect of the COVID–19;

• Maintain payroll to retain employees during business disruptions or substantial slowdowns;

• Meet increased costs to obtain materials unavailable from the applicant’s original source due to interrupted supply chains;

• Make rent or mortgage payments; and

• Repay obligations that cannot be met due to revenue losses.
