@SBAgov I am not solely depending on YouTube videos but I have read the bill so many different ways!!! You are defying a FEDERAL BILL!!!! We as small busy and sole props deserve this 10k grant!!!! PERIOD!!! #readthebill #StopTheMadness #COVID19
Also, I applied in March. 3 different times and only received a confirmation on the third because the website crashed!! Why can’t I remove the other 2 that supposedly went through as well when they are incorrect due to website issues. Get your act together! I have one
Conformation number but you guys said I have 3. The first 2 didn’t submit on my end!!! Give us some guidance!!!! Stop saying we have to wait. We have been waiting since the end of March with you guys changing the wording of a bill! #soleprop #gigworkers #wegetthe10ktoo #CARESAct
