If you have submitted your application for the Ohio Small Business Relief Grant, please be aware that there is another step to approval. 

Be sure to check your email (and your junk/spam folder) for an email from SmallBizrelief.gov with the Subject Line: Small Business Relief Grant Application Preliminarily Approved. 

The email reads as follows:

If your application is denied, you may apply to the program again, but the new application will be processed in the order it is received.

·        Log in to the application using your OH|ID
