In July, a federal judge ruled business owners cannot say their race is a disadvantage to receive funding.
It challenged the SBA's 8(a) program, which awards money to socially disadvantaged businesses each year.
Now, business owners have to write an essay proving why their identity has been the basis of discrimination.
The judge's decision struck down a key provision of that program, saying that business owners could no longer say their race is the reason they have faced disadvantage in America.
This ruling prompted the SBA to change the process for small business owners to receive funds though the 8(a) program.
