Last Updated April 7, 12pm PST

The SBA began inviting people to apply for EIDL loan increases yesterday afternoon. As promised in the original March 25 announcement, the SBA would reach out to previous EIDL loan applicants. Action is needed so please read on. The SBA has sent out hundreds of thousands of these emails, however we've received reports that some have ended up in spam folders. Even if you haven't received the email — but you have an EIDL loan — based on the information below, you can still take action.

Updates: Do not expect an auto reply from the SBA, if the email doesn't bounce back it went through. There are some reports the email address is sending errors due to volume.

Be sure to include identifying information for your loan in the body of the email, including business address, business owner, loan number, and application number, and phone number. Do not include any financial documents or tax records in the initial request.
