This bill provides temporary relief for certain borrowers of Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) that were made in response to the COVID-19 emergency. Specifically, for one year, the Small Business Administration must reduce the interest rate and limit the monthly payment due for borrowers of these loans experiencing short-term financial challenges.

Bill 118 hr 2727, also known as the EIDL Relief Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress aimed at providing relief to small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill seeks to expand the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program by increasing the maximum loan amount available to small businesses from $150,000 to $2 million.

Additionally, the EIDL Relief Act proposes to streamline the application process for small businesses seeking assistance through the EIDL program. This includes simplifying the documentation requirements and expediting the approval process to ensure that businesses receive the financial support they need in a timely manner.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to extend the repayment period for EIDL loans, allowing small businesses more time to repay the funds borrowed. This is intended to alleviate the financial burden on businesses struggling to recover from the economic impact of the pandemic. Overall, the EIDL Relief Act aims to provide much-needed support to small businesses across the country as they navigate the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. By expanding the EIDL program and making it more accessible to businesses in need, this legislation seeks to help stimulate economic recovery and ensure the long-term viability of small businesses in the United States.
