This is because lenders want to see your debt-to-income ratio as well as know if you can afford to repay the loan.<\/p>\n<p>However, you might still be able to qualify for a personal loan if you\u2019re unemployed, provided you have other sources of income.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/lenders\/discover-personal-loans\/\">Discover<\/a> is willing to work with unemployed borrowers as long they meet the other eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few alternative types of income that lenders might accept:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unemployment benefits<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/self-employed-loans\/\">Self-employment<\/a> income<\/li>\n<li>Social Security benefits<\/li>\n<li>Retirement or pension income<\/li>\n<li>Child support<\/li>\n<li>Alimony<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>Tip:<\/b> As you compare lenders, be sure to double-check their income requirements so you can be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Also keep in mind that some lenders don\u2019t have a minimum required income, which means you might be able to qualify as long as you can show you\u2019ll be able to repay the loan.<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b><i>Check Out: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/personal-loan-scams\/\"><b><i>How to Check If a Personal Loan Company Is Legitimate<\/i><\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<a name=\"apply-hardship-loan\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to apply for a coronavirus hardship loan<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to get a coronavirus hardship loan or a small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/personal-loan\">low interest personal loan<\/a>, follow these four steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Compare lenders. <\/b>Be sure to shop around and compare as many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/best-personal-loan-lenders\/\">personal loan lenders<\/a> as you can to find the right loan for you. Consider not only interest rates but also repayment terms and any fees charged by the lender. Also keep in mind that some lenders might have less stringent eligibility requirements for coronavirus hardship loans.<\/li>\n<li><b>Pick a loan option. <\/b>After you\u2019ve compared lenders, choose the loan option that works best for you.<\/li>\n<li><b>Complete the application. <\/b>Once you\u2019ve chosen a lender, you\u2019ll need to fill out a full application and submit any required documentation, such as tax returns or pay stubs.<\/li>\n<li><b>Get your funds. <\/b>If you\u2019re approved, the lender will have you sign for the loan so the funds can be released to you. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/time-to-fund\/\">time to fund<\/a> for personal loans is typically one week or less \u2014 though some lenders offer next-day or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/same-day-loans\/\">same-day loans<\/a> to approved borrowers. Hardship loans might also be funded more quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><b>Tip:<\/b> You\u2019ll typically need good to excellent credit to potentially qualify for a personal loan. Some lenders offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/personal-loan\/bad-credit-loans\">personal loans for bad credit<\/a>, but these generally come with higher interest rates than good credit loans.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to get approved for a loan, consider applying with a cosigner. Not all lenders allow cosigners on personal loans, but there are a few that do. Even if you don\u2019t need a cosigner to qualify, having one could get you a lower rate than you\u2019d get on your own.<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b><i>Learn More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"\/personal-loan\/600-credit-score\"><b><i>How to Get a Personal Loan With a 600 Credit Score<\/i><\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<a name=\"alternatives-hardship-loan\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives to a hardship loan<\/h2>\n<p>Coronavirus hardship loans and fast personal loans aren\u2019t your only relief options during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few other alternatives to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Talk to your lender.<\/b> Many lenders are offering various relief options to borrowers impacted by the pandemic.

However, keep in mind that a credit card cash advance often comes with a much higher interest rate compared to the usual<\/li>\n<li><b>Apply for a car title loan.<\/b> This is a type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/secured-personal-loans\/\">secured personal loan<\/a> that uses the title of your vehicle (such as a car or motorcycle) as collateral. Like payday loans, car title loans are often extremely expensive. Plus, if you can\u2019t repay the loan, you could lose your vehicle. Because of this risk, you should generally only take out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/car-title-loans\/\">car title loan<\/a> if you have no other options.<\/li>\n<li><b>Tap into your home\u2019s equity. <\/b>If you\u2019re a homeowner, you might be able to access the equity in your home through a home equity loan or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/personal-loan\/heloc-vs-personal-loan\">home equity line of credit (HELOC)<\/a>. Because these types of loans are secured by your home\u2019s equity, they often come with lower interest rates compared to personal loans. However, keep in mind that if you can\u2019t make your payments, you risk losing your home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Find Your Loan:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-loan\/get-a-5000-dollar-loan\/\">$5,000 Personal Loan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/personal-loan\/10k-loan\">$10,000 Personal Loan<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<a name=\"pl-disclosures\"><\/a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><small><em><strong>About Rates and Terms:\u00a0<\/strong>Rates for personal loans provided by lenders on the Credible platform range between 5.20%-35.99% APR with terms from 12 to 144 months. Rates presented include lender discounts for enrolling in autopay and loyalty programs, where applicable. Actual rates may be different from the rates advertised and\/or shown and will be based on the lender\u2019s eligibility criteria, which include factors such as credit score, loan amount, loan term, credit usage and history, and vary based on loan purpose. The lowest rates available typically require excellent credit, and for some lenders, may be reserved for specific loan purposes and\/or shorter loan terms. The origination fee charged by the lenders on our platform ranges from 0% to 12%. Each lender has their own qualification criteria with respect to their autopay and loyalty discounts (e.g., some lenders require the borrower to elect autopay prior to loan funding in order to qualify for the autopay discount). All rates are determined by the lender and must be agreed upon between the borrower and the borrower\u2019s chosen lender. For a loan of $10,000 with a three year repayment period, an interest rate of 7.99%, a $350 origination fee and an APR of 11.51%, the borrower will receive $9,650 at the time of loan funding and will make 36 monthly payments of $313.32. Assuming all on-time payments, and full performance of all terms and conditions of the loan contract and any discount programs enrolled in included in the APR\/interest rate throughout the life of the loan, the borrower will pay a total of $11,279.43. As of October 9, 2023, none of the personal loan lenders on our platform require a down payment nor do they charge any prepayment penalties.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some lenders are offering coronavirus hardship loans.
