The U.S. Small Business Administration has approved an Economic Injury Disaster Loan Assistance Fund for small businesses impacted by COVID-19. In order for Idaho and our region to become eligible for assistance, affected Idaho businesses need to file an Economic Injury Worksheet. In our state, this effort is being led by the Idaho Department of Commerce. The Economic Injury Worksheet and other information regarding the assistance can be found on the Department of Commerce’s COVID-19 webpage. The assistance is available to both for and not-for profit businesses. Jerry Miller at the Idaho Department of Commerce is the point of contact (jerry.miller@commerce.idaho.gov, (208)-287-0780).
