THE SUPPLEMENTAL AWARDS PROCESS ROLL-OUT CONTINUES:
The SBA continues to issue invitations to the Supplemental Awards process.

  • Eligible applicants are defined as "recipients of first, second, and third priority round awards who suffered a 70% or greater earned revenue loss for when comparing 2021 Q1 to 2019 Q1."

  • If you expect to get an invitation and haven’t yet, be sure to check the portal for pending action items.

  • If you have the status “Supplemental Under Review”, that means the SBA is still calculating whether or not you are eligible.

  • If your award is under reconsideration, your invitation will be send once that process is complete.

  • To date, 3,980 invitations have been sent. 3,616 have been accepted.

  • The SBA has stated that the disbursement of Supplemental Awards will begin next Wednesday, September 22.
