SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SBA Form 3513 has been used for physical
and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), including COVID loans. Going
forward, this form will eventually be used for determining fraud for
non-COVID disaster loans only.
As authorized by the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the Paycheck Protection Program and
Health Care Enhancement Act, and the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small
Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, the Small Business
Administration (SBA) provided COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loans
to provide working capital for small businesses, private nonprofits,
and small agricultural enterprises who suffered substantial economic
injury as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. SBA received more than
16 million loan applications during the pandemic and a small percentage
of those applications may have been a result of identity theft.
To ensure SBA is taking the appropriate action for any individuals
who have indicated they have been the victim of identity theft, the
individual will need to provide an affidavit to SBA indicating no
involvement in the filing of the loan application, and that they did
not receive or have knowledge of who received the loan funds. The
information will be collected from those individuals (or their
representative) who, without their knowledge or authorization, had an
application submitted to SBA's Office of Capital Access (OCA) utilizing
their personal information. OCA will review the information contained
in the affidavit to determine whether there was identity theft
involved, and if so, OCA will take the necessary steps to stop all
billing statements, release any collateral filings, and to ensure that
loan information will not be publicly reported in the name of the
identity theft victim. In addition, this affidavit will be provided to
the Office of Inspector General and other enforcement agencies in any
legal action as necessary.
Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA is requesting comments on (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the agency to properly perform its
functions; (b) whether the burden estimates are accurate; (c) whether
there are ways to minimize the burden, including through the use of
automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d)
whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information.
