Deadline Extended For SBA Assistance
Local officials have announced that the filing deadline for U.S. Small Business Administration assistance for people who suffered damage during the severe winter storm on Dec. 17-18, 2026, has been extended to Aug. 31.
“It’s really good news,” SBA public affairs specialist Amira Huntsbeery said.
Disaster loans include for business physical disaster loans, economic injury disaster loans and home disaster loans.
SBA offers low-fixed interest rates to homeowners, renters, non-profits, faith-based organizations and businesses.
Income guidelines require that the applicant must have the ability to repay the loan. Officials do look at the applicant’s credit history. The application center is the Wolf Point Community Center. There is no cost for the application.
The assistance is for the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes for physical damage and economic injury, and for economic injury only for the contiguous Montana counties of Roosevelt, Daniels, Mc-Cone, Richland, Sheridan and Valley.
The law limits business loans to $2,000,000 for the repair or replacement of real estate, inventories, machinery, equipment and all other physical losses. The law limits economic injury disaster loans to $2,000,000 for alleviating economic injury caused by the disaster.
