SBA runs out of money for EIDL and PPP

As a self-employed freelancer I was eligible to receive some benefits under the CARES Act.  So I applied for a $10,000 EIDL advance on March 30th and then for the Paycheck Protection Program on April 13.

Well, I heard from SBA after two weeks of silence that they were lowering the amount to just $1,000 but so far I have not received a penny.

I also learned that by April 15, SBA had run out of money for the PPP too.  Lendio told me that I was way back in the line.

It appears to be that I will not receive any funds at all unless Congress releases more.  Very disappointing, indeed.
