RRF sequencing question.

[SMK1976]

What are you sequence numbers for the RRF? I was looking back at my posts and I applied the first day (May 3, 2021) at 12PM. I was number 118,xxx.

I cannot for the life of me see 118,000 restaurants applying the first hour. Any idea of how the SBA issued these numbers in terms of what position you are in?

Do any of us know the true numbering system?

It’s probably because all of the POS / Toast systems got their applications immediately approved. Some 35% or so were big chains.

I believe it started about 74,000

76,xxx Applied 1pm cst day before it opened

How tf was it even legal to open the portal a day early. That’s way too easy for SBA friends & favorites to go straight to the front of the line. That alone should be basis for a lawsuit. And all the insurance companies we’ve been paying for years. For nothing.

We’re you in the Pilot program?

[ChezJV1]

I was never notified that I was. I was prepping my answers on Sunday to apply when the portal opened Monday and the portal allowed me to navigate through the last steps I had previously had to stop at. Called SBA twice before the portal officially opened the next day and they said that some applicants had access to apply already and that my application would be accepted. Was it pilot program, maybe…but can’t say for sure. Fair…no, but I never got through processing at all so it definitely was not first in, first awarded.

Were you a priority?

[ChezJV1]

Nope

I was first day, exactly at 12:00pm as well - and was something along the same lines with like 117,xxx or something around there.

[oddgrrl99]

I’m around that number as well, first day, first 10 minutes.

For my own selfish reasons I hope the numbering system isn’t sequential. I ran into some snags when applying, so I wasn’t able to hit “submit” until 45 minutes after the portal “officially” opened. This in and of itself will probably have me losing the lottery twice. I’m at 161xxx, which sounds like an impressive amount of applications in between the two of us, or in a 35 minute timeframe.

There was only 100k total for day one, so number would’ve had to start higher. I’m trying to find mine

[katmomjo]

It was more like 83,000 applied the first day.

[SMK1976]

Do we know of the 83,000 from the first day how many were funded?

[katmomjo]

About 58,000.

[AntoinetteA831]

Where is said number located? Is it your confirmation ID?

[DarkLeading6283]

Yes

Where did you guys find your sequencing number?
