Businesses can qualify for these COVID-19 disaster loans regardless of whether they have suffered property damage, and they can use the funds to help cover their working capital needs and cover operating expenses as they recover from the impact of the pandemic. Instructions are provided on how to electronically submit EIDL refinance payments to the SBA, with a note that on the appropriate form, you must enter the EIDL loan number, not the PPP loan number, in the SBA Loan Number field.
