SBA.com® Request Status Resource

URGENT PPP Update (5/5/21): Yesterday, the U.S. Small Business Administration abruptly stopped accepting all PPP loan applications, weeks short of the expected end-date. We are awaiting more information on remaining funds but new PPP requests on SBA.com may no longer be able to be submitted for approval. Stay tuned for more information.

PPP Update (3/30/21): President Biden has signed the PPP Extension Act of 2021 to extend the latest round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) an additional 2 months. Originally slated to close on March 31, the program is now scheduled to end on May 31.

UPDATE 2/24/21: The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced that in order to prioritize the smallest of small businesses for PPP funds, they will only be accepting applications from businesses with fewer than 20 employees until March 9. Further measures are also being pursued to promote equitable access to relief and those details can be found here. This is welcome news as a significant portion of our visitors fall in this bucket!

Update (December 30, 2020):
The President has signed a new COVID relief bill that includes $284 billion for Payment Protection Program (PPP) loans.

You can find the basics on the new program here, but final details are currently being negotiated. We expect the program to open in the next few weeks. Similar to the last round, we at SBA.com® will be focusing our efforts to helping as many small businesses as possible participate in the program. We will be sending out information on next steps as soon as they are available, so if you’d like to be kept in-the-loop, complete the PPP form on SBA.com in order to be added to our mailing list for immediate updates.

Update (December 22, 2020):

Details of a new stimulus package have been agreed upon by Congress this week, including almost $300 billion for a new round of potentially-forgivable Payment Protection Program (PPP) loans. Full details and applications have not been released yet, but SBA.com® will continue to accept PPP inquiry requests and will follow up with next steps via email as soon as information becomes available.

Update (July 5, 2020):
Round 2 of the PPP Loan Program ended on June 30, 2020. The US Congress has approved an extension of the program until August 8, 2020, which was signed by the President. However, currently SBA.com® has stopped accepting any loan requests as of June 26, 2020.

The U.S. Small Business Administration set up a Lender Match tool recently and borrowers can try to find a lender through that method.

Update (June 26, 2020):

The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced that the second round of PPP loans will end on June 30, 2020. As a result, our referral partner has stopped accepting PPP applications on June 26, 2020. SBA.com® has stopped accepting loan requests on June 26, 2020.

SBA.com® has helped millions of people obtain information about PPP loans, and we are very proud to have advocated for and armed small businesses with the information they needed to help them connect with their lender. Through our referral partner, we’ve helped over 9,300 small businesses get PPP funding in excess of $260,000,000!

Neither SBA.com® nor our partner are direct lenders. Our lending partners have helped many American businesses in a time of need when others might have turned their backs on them.

Pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s interim final rule released on April 28, 2020, lenders have 10 calendar days to disburse funds once a borrower has received a PLP number. For borrowers who received a PLP number after April 28, 2020, lenders have 10 days from the date the borrower received a PLP number to disburse funds.

Lenders have up to 20 calendar days to disburse funds if the delay is due to the borrower. Loan amounts designated for refinancing an EIDL will be paid to the U.S. Small Business Administration directly by the lender—the borrower will not receive those funds.

Thank you for your visit and consider utilizing the U.S. Small Business Administrations Lender Match tool.

Sincerely the SBA.com® team.
