If you applied through the COVID-19 portal, you will have to wait until the SBA contacts you regarding your loan status, even if you have an application number. Some applicants haven’t received an email or phone call from the SBA but did receive a deposit in their bank account from the SBA with an attached application number.
If you applied for an EIDL outside of the COVID-19 portal, you can call the SBA’s toll-free number to inquire about your loan status. You can also inquire about your status by email.
