March 17, 2020

At the moment, there are two components to qualify for an SBA loan. First, counties in Texas must meet an economic impact threshold for businesses within those counties to become eligible for loans. Once a county is certified by SBA, then businesses within that county can become eligible for the loans. Below are the the two steps Texas businesses should take.

1. Register with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM): The SBA has designed COVID-19 as a qualifying event for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) for businesses and private non-profits in affected communities. Before a business can become eligible to receive funds, the county in which it resides must first meet an economic impact threshold. The Governor’s Office and TDEM are currently working with SBA to qualify counties for this declaration, and we expect it will happen soon. To help that process, Texans should register with TDEM here.

2. Apply for an SBA loan: Once Texas counties are certified by the SBA (stemming from step #1 above), qualified businesses that have applied will be eligible to start receiving funds. You can apply for an SBA loan here. SBA’s factsheet on SBA Disaster Loan Assistance is below, and a step-by-step process for business owners in both English and Spanish is attached. For additional information, I encourage you to visit the SBA website.

You can apply online for all types of SBA disaster assistance loans. The online application is the fastest method to receive a decision about your loan eligibility. You have the option of submitting a paper application by mail. For either application, you must submit the completed loan application and a signed and dated IRS Form 4506-T giving permission for the IRS to provide SBA your tax return information.

You may also apply in person at any Disaster Recovery Center and receive personal, one-on-one help from an SBA representative. For information or to find a location near you, please contact our Customer Service Center. Call 1-800-659-2955 (TTY: 1-800-877-8339) or e-mail disastercustomerservice@sba.gov.

The Three-Step Process: Disaster Loans
The Three-Step Process: Disaster Loans (en Espanol)

Required Information to Complete the Application:

After a Presidential disaster declaration, you must first register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). To obtain a registration number, call FEMA at 1-800-621-3362 (TTY: 1-800-462-7585) or visit DisasterAssistance.gov.

The following information is required to complete the SBA online application:

Contact information for all applicants
Social security numbers for all applicants
FEMA registration number
Deed or lease information
Insurance information
Financial information (e.g. income, account balances and monthly expenses)
Employer Identification Number (EIN) for business applicants

How to Repay a Disaster Loan:

To make a one-time payment or schedule recurring monthly payments, register on Pay.gov and select the 1201 Borrower Payments option.

There are several ways you can make a payment on your disaster loan: by phone, by mail or online. To make a payment, contact the SBA disaster customer service center at 1-800-659-2955 (TTY: 1-800-877-8339). There is no fee for this service.

You may also send a check or money order to the SBA. Please include your loan number on your check and your payment coupon, if available. Make your check payable to the U.S. Small Business Administration.

March 13, 2020

Subject: COVID-19

Recent and ongoing events taking place regarding the COVID-19 or Coronavirus reminds us of our 175th anniversary year as a community that there are times of celebration and times of crisis. We can once again show that in times of crisis that we can unite, actively support each other, and collaborate. Your Chamber of Commerce is a ready and willing partner in this effort.

With prevention efforts increasing, we are all impacted. Everyone. Events being rescheduled or canceled, sales declining, anxiety increasing. We can manage those things we have control over and prepare for the rebound as we recover from this. We’ll provide best practices and recommendations regularly. Our staff is attending regular meetings with local health officials. Our volunteer leadership at the Chamber is meeting regularly to guide future actions on our part.

In the short term, we are postponing the 175th events set for March 14-22 until this fall. The Texas Legislative Conference set for March 26-27 is being postponed until late September. Our membership mixers for March 25 and April 2 have been canceled. Note all of the above events involve large numbers of people, and those are the ones that health officials want to see not occurring. Our other committee meetings and smaller scale events will be evaluated on a case by case basis weeks in advance, and we will let members know the status of those.

As Citizens, we recommend the Comal County Public Health webpage for information which is located at https://www.co.comal.tx.us/health.htm.
As Employers, we recommend in the short-term going to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html to learn strategies for employers.

They include such things as:
*actively encouraging sick employees to stay home
*if employees arrive with symptoms, separating them from others or sending them home
*emphasizing respiratory and hand hygiene for all employees
*performing routine environmental cleaning of your facilities
*advising employees before traveling to take specific steps

We all are feeling a sense of helplessness, but we can rest assured knowing many are working very hard to minimize the impacts. Your involvement and participation in this is critical and welcomed. After all, this is New Braunfels, and this is what we do.
