• Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs)

  • We are receiving lots of feedback from Resource Partners, as well as clients calling our office about declines on the second round of EIDL loans. Most of these are being declined for “Unverifiable Information”. Many of these are happening because the information on the 4506-T does not match the tax return. This includes using the same address as on the tax return and making sure the correct form is noted on the 4506-T (1040, 1120, etc.)

  • If you or your business have been declined:

    • Send an email to: pdcrecons@sba.gov

    • Attach to the email: a copy of your driver’s license, signed 4506-T, most recent filed Federal tax return, and an original voided blank check showing the name of the account holder, the name and address of the bank and ensuring the routing and account numbers are visible.
