The specific details of the deferral tie to the calendar year the business received the disaster loan.
- For a business that received a disaster loan in 2020, the first payment is due 24 months (extended from 12 months) from the date on the note.
- For a business that received a disaster loan in 2021, the first payment due date is 18 months (extended from 12 months) from the date of the note.
The SBA also issued a third deferral extension, this time for 12 months, of principal and interest payments for existing disaster loans approved prior to 2020 that were in regular servicing status as of March 1, 2020. The latest deferral allows companies to postpone their payments through March 31, 2022, and payment schedules will resume immediately following this date.
One key point to keep in mind is that EIDL borrowers can voluntarily make payments on their loan balance during the deferment period. Since interest will continue to accrue on the outstanding loan balance during the deferral period, our advice is to make payments if your business can do so while maintaining normal operations.
