Weekly Economic Loss Percentage Results

You will see the percent of economic loss for each eight week period. This is how much lower your earnings were for the eight week period in 2020 compared to the corresponding calendar week of 2019.

Negative percentages indicate that you earned more for that period in 2020 than you did in 2019. “Infinity” in the percentage field indicates that you had no earnings in the eight week period in 2019. Any eight week period in 2020 where earnings were higher than they were for 2019 does not meet the 30% economic loss test.

If any eight week period does meet the 30% economic loss test for targeted EIDL advances, you will see a green Meets 30% Test notation.

Based on my understanding of the legislation and available information, any one week that passes the 30% economic loss test is enough to qualify as an economic loss for this program. This is NOT the only criteria for the targeted EIDL advance.
