SBA EIDL Hardship Accommodation Plan

SBA is offering a Hardship Accommodation Plan for borrowers experiencing short-term financial challenges. Borrowers eligible for this plan may make reduced payments for six months. Interest will continue to accrue, which may increase (or create) a balloon payment due at the end of the loan term. Borrowers are required to pay at least 10% of their monthly payment amount (with a $25 minimum), for six months.

During the Hardship Accommodation period, borrowers can voluntarily make larger payments.

The regular monthly payment amount will resume and be required after the six-month Hardship Accommodation period ends. Borrowers may be able to renew the Hardship Accommodation Plan, if necessary.

Borrowers are eligible to enroll in the Hardship Accommodation Plan beginning 60 calendar days before their first payment due date and their loan amount is less than or equal to $200,000. If your loan amount exceeds $200,000, you should contact the COVID-19 EIDL Servicing Center at 833-853-5638 or disastercustomerservice@sba.gov (and include “Hardship Accommodation Plan” in the subject line). You will be contacted by a loan specialist regarding requirements.

To enroll in the Hardship Accommodation plan, enroll or login to the MySBA Loan Portal (lending.sba.gov). Within the portal, click “Loan Summaries” in the toolbar. On the Loan Summary page, look for “Hardship Accommodation Plan” in the bottom right corner. Click “Learn more and enroll.”

OpenAI Announces GPT-4, the next generation of its artificial intelligence language model that powers ChatGPT. The company claims the model is “more creative and collaborative than ever before” and “can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy.” It can parse both text and image input, though still can only respond via text. The new model is available to the general public via ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI’s $20 monthly ChatGPT subscription, and is powering Microsoft’s Bing chatbot. It will also be accessible as an API for developers to build on.
