The Department of Commerce is working closely with the Kansas Department of Emergency Management (KDEM) to complete the required steps for requesting an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Declaration.

Background: The Coronavirus (COVID-19) disaster incident period began 1/31/2020 and is ongoing. This means that businesses may look at loss beginning 1/31/2020.

An SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Declaration will rely on state certification that at least five small business have suffered substantial economic injury as a result of the COVID-19 disaster. A declaration is for a primary county or counties, and will also include the contiguous counties as requested by KDEM. It is important that we gather forms from a businesses across the State.
