NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2022 / The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) laid down a final ultimatum on the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program. On Thursday the SBA announced more urgent deadline news. Small businesses have until the end of day on Friday May 6th as the last day the SBA will accept COVID-19 related EIDL loan increase requests or reconsideration requests for loans. These EIDL loan modifications, increase requests, and denial reconsiderations will continue to be processed in the order received until all pandemic funds are exhausted. Business owners should seek expert assistance as soon as possible to file before the deadline.

“The SBA urgent deadline is really the last chance to file and have the best shot at obtaining low-interest loan funds from the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program. Our Team of Advisors will be working around the clock this next week to help business owners who need paid professional help to get their filings in by the May 6th deadline,” said Marty Stewart, Chief Strategy Officer of Disaster Loan Advisors (DLA).
Since the pandemic started, Disaster Loan Advisors have been at the EIDL forefront developing and refining exclusive expertise in both SBA increase requests and recon requests. By strategically assisting business clients with expedited SBA EIDL loan filings, such as reconsideration requests and appeals, DLA has helped businesses obtain a minimum of $100,000 or more through reconsideration appeals, and up to $500,000 to $2,000,000 through the loan increase modification process.
The New U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Email Announcing the Official Deadline Filing of May 6th for COVID-19 EIDL Funds
In early April, there was another SBA EIDL loan email urging small business owners about a last chance for an increase or reconsideration due to funds running low.
Many business owners received this email from the SBA on Thursday April 28th.

Are You Interested in a Loan Increase?
You may be eligible for an increase in your SBA COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (COVID EIDL) amount, subject to SBA analysis.(Please disregard this notice of a loan increase if you have already submitted your increase request.)

The Steps to Request a Loan Increase Are:

Critical Next Step for Business Owners to Receive COVID-19 EIDL Funds
“This truly is the last chance for companies to receive pandemic related SBA EIDL funds. By doing an increase filing, or a reconsideration appeal to overcome being denied previously. In either case, speed is needed. Business owners should seek expert help immediately to file by the SBA May 6th deadline,” said Stewart.

DLA further specializes in another key pandemic-era SBA / IRS program where business owners are leaving a lot of relief fund money on the table. It is the often misunderstood and confusing Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) program. Business owners can retroactively receive up to $33,000 back for each W-2 employee they had on payroll for the 2020 and 2021 tax filing years. Done correctly, these tax credits or cash refunds can be claimed retroactively for up to 3 years. 4/15/24 is the deadline for the 2020 tax year and 4/15/25 is the deadline for the 2021 tax year. It’s encouraged that companies obtain professional assistance in going through the complex 941-X amended filing process to help your company maximize the full value of the ERTC program.
