COVID-19 Resources and Information

  • Ohio Small Businesses Now Eligible for SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans: Learn More Here
  • Economic Impact Disaster Loans FAQ and Tips
  • Update on checking status of economic impact disaster loan (EIDL) applications filed previously: Applicants will get a status email from ODA when the processing is near to complete and be invited to go into a portal to complete the EIDL. This portal will give them the status, what additional docs are needed (if any), closing information, etc. If the EIDL applicant has not received this email, the only way to check on the status is to call the customer service line or send an email to customer service.
