Loans now have a total deferment of 30 months from the date of the Note. Interest will continue to accrue on the loans during the deferment.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span>Borrowers may make partial or full payments during the deferment period but are not required to.

By extending the COVID EIDL deferment period, small businesses will be able to use capital obtained through sales to grow their businesses when it matters most,\u201d said SBA Atlantic Regional Administrator Marlene Cintron, who oversees the federal agency\u2019s operations in New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Borrowers with questions can call SBA\u2019s COVID EIDL Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-833-853-5638 (borrowers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability can dial 7-1-1 to access telecommunications relay services) or email Dis&#97;&#115;&#116;&#101;&#x72;&#x43;&#x75;&#x73;&#x74;&#x6f;&#x6d;erS&#101;&#114;&#118;&#105;&#99;&#x65;&#x40;&#x73;&#x62;&#x61;&#x2e;gov for additional assistance.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The center is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Multilingual representatives are available.
