State Incentives: SSBCI Program Recap and Overview

In 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act, which created the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI). Functioning as a recovery response to the Great Recession, it delivered $1.5 billion in capital to small businesses. Federally, SSBCI phased out in 2017.

Nevertheless, after more than a decade, many of the same original SSBCI programs still exist, suggesting that states value them. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, similar economic challenges to the Great Recession emerged. President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021 to deliver immediate and direct relief to families, businesses, and workers impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, part of which reauthorized SSBCI.
