The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued Amendment 1 to the Presidential disaster declaration for Louisiana related to Hurricane Delta, which occurred from October 6 to October 10, 2020. This amendment includes additional parishes—Acadia, Caldwell, Cameron, Catahoula, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Jefferson Davis, Richland, and Union—as areas affected by the disaster. The deadline for physical loan applications is February 22, 2021, and for Economic Injury Disaster Loan applications, it is September 23, 2021. All other details in the original declaration remain the same.
Simple Explanation
The President is changing the rules to help more places in Louisiana get money to fix things after a big storm called Hurricane Delta. Some new areas are included, so more people can ask for help by certain deadlines.
