SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice establishes the application 
filing period for the Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loan 
Program (MREIDL).
    Effective October 1, 2026 small businesses employing military 
reservists may apply for economic injury disaster loans if those 
employees are ordered to perform active service for a period of more 
than 30 consecutive days, and those employees are essential to the 
success of the small businesses' daily operations.
    The purpose of the MREIDL program is to provide funds to eligible 
small businesses to meet ordinary and necessary operating expenses it 
is now unable to meet, because an essential

employee was ordered to perform active service for more than 30 
consecutive days as a military reservist. These loans are intended only 
to provide the amount of working capital needed by a small business to 
pay its necessary obligations as they mature until operations return to 
normal after the essential employee is released from active service.
    Applications for the MREIDL program may be submitted online using 
the MySBA Loan Portal (<a href="https://lending.sba.gov">https://lending.sba.gov</a>).
