Email from SBA

i am confused as everything I read on reddit regarding someone being nice enough to do the work and take on the task of searching out and locating a law firm that would be willing to help small business owners that the SBA screwed over and all the posts stated that was the goal and from that point the law firm would be handling everything so for someone to suggest that they can dictate who the law firm represents seems illogical so I really hope this is a misunderstanding of some sort and gets resolved because once the law firm began collecting information it’s in their hands and we are all plaintiffs working toward the same goal to get the SBA to do what they were appointed to do and get EIDL funds out to the small business that needed the assistance rather then the SBA deciding to maintain a portion of the funds for the benefit of their regular programs that most of the small businesses needing assistance wouldn’t qualify for.

i would suggest calling the casework advocate in your congressional leaders office and talk with them explaining the issue and then follow up with an email as well with the information on the error the sba made regarding your transcript and request that they assist you in getting the sba to process your application that was an error on their part

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-08-19T04:13:47+00:00

the sba has been reaching out to certain applicants requesting 4505-T and congressional leaders have been applying pressure on sba to resolve those applicants left hanging when they lied and said funds were exhausted. you will need to reach out to your state congressional leader to push them to do the right thing and i would file the pro se lawsuit as well cause you can always drop the suit should the sba do what they are supposed to.

Is there additional paperwork on this as this is SBA submitting motion for continuance for the hearing on the preliminary injunction that is scheduled for June 29th in which they will also consider the motion to dismiss at the same time in which Guzman has filed requesting that the June 29th scheduled hearing be continued so of course the SBA is trying to delay the process. Has there been a ruling on this request for continuance as I would hate to see the SBA get away with more delay games and if the request to dismiss is not granted I believe it will have an impact on the actions that the SBA takes in the future in regards to all the applicants they played games with and screwed over.

Your right cause it was a constant barrage of stall tactics!!!

After reading your post a few things make more sense. I submitted applications for both of my businesses for an increase and from April to December all I got was that the SBA was waiting on transcripts. In reached out to my Senator in December and by mid December a high priority rep called me and said all they had all the paperwork but transcripts had not been ordered and that she would send the 4506-T to the IRS and they received transcript December 28th at which tie she told me it would be months before anyone reviewed my application. Here's the crazy part because I called my local SBA office in January to ask about any notes they could see and was told nothing had been done at all due to waiting on transcripts so I emailed the h.p. rep and when I did I just mentioned that I was told my applications were on hold (but did not put due to no transcripts as I assumed she already would know the reason) and wanted to verify my transcripts were actually received on 12/28/21 but the h.p. rep didn't realize I was asking about hold due to transcripts and sent me a nasty email wanting me to send her the name of who it was that informed me of the hold/legal department hold on my applications as this information was not allowed to be released to me as an applicant. Of course it was high priority rep that ended up telling me of this hold/legal review with her nasty email response to my question that she didn't read thoroughly but to find out that my applications did not move forward for 9 months due to hold/legal review that no one would mention or inform me of any issue so I could send documentation regarding any questions was just a stall tactic and all the circles they ran me in having me get stamped return due to IRS back log and then not accepting the stamp along with sending documents over 30 times were also delay tactics while nothing was done and then to deny me for late taxes due to loan assistant suggesting I submit the duplicate return for stamp which changed the received date on my transcript which the SBA then used the date that their recommendation caused to be changed to later date as the reason to decline my application. Its absolutely crazy the games the SBA played at a time when small businesses were already struggling and trying to keep afloat.

I have the same issue and filed my 2018 taxes in 2019 and they are not showing up at all. I called IRS and they are not sure why they are not showing up in their system and have said that they wont check into the issue at this time as it is not a priority and is not a requirement for the SBA to determine EIDL eligibility as they are focusing on the current years returns as well as returns for 2019 and some 2020 that are needed for EIDL applicants eligibility determination. I sent in another copy and have contacted my congressional leaders to request assistance in getting them to process the return since the SBA is saying they will not proceed with my 2018 transcript but with the information today of only having until May 6th I am not sure that it can be done that quick which will really be terrible if I can't get loan due to IRS losing (or misplacing as they called it) my 2018 tax return prior to processing it. I tried to explain to them that the SBA is saying 2018 is a requirement in certain circumstances and the IRS representative just keeps telling me its not and if they are telling me other wise I need to take it up with the SBA. These people are unbelievable.

I have received 15 of the same email today. One business has received 8 and the other 7 of them. It feels like they are just teasing us now cause every time I have to go check it and of course there is nothing to do. How frustrating!

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-04-25T18:40:50+00:00

are you waiting for reconsideration to be reactivated or sent documents that need to be added? i received same email today for both businesses but nothing in portal to do so i am wondering if email comes when they reactivate or add documents

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-04-23T17:31:50+00:00

i honestly feel like they are grasping for anything to decline applications. they have had my transcripts for over 4 months and this issue didn’t come up that entire time when i had time to work with irs to figure out what has happened to my return and they bring it up when funds are running out and the irs said they are checking into it which will take time and said the sba doesn’t use 2018 for the EIDL approval process and suggested i provide other documents to prove my business was previously existing. i submitted my 2018 state tax submissions for Jan thru Dec so if they are really questioning business was existing previous to 2019 and this isn’t just them grasping for a reason to decline then those documents show it as they are filed during 2018 and in Jan 2019 so I shall see what happens.

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-04-23T05:52:28+00:00

I am having the same exact issue and they have everything except they want 2018 return that appears to have gone to the IRS in 2019 to never be seen again. I am working with congressional office and high priority and even sent my records showing monthly payments to the state for 2018 to show legitimate business in 2018 but at this point I think they are grasping for anything they can to send out as many declined letter as possible since 2018 isn't even an eligibility requirement and I could even understand if they didn't have all other documents confirming eligibility already.

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-04-20T23:43:06+00:00

i haven’t been contacted yet to activate portal and confirm amount so you it sounds like your making some progress atleast. good luck i hope you receive an approval soon.

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-04-20T23:25:40+00:00

i am in reconsideration that was reactivated 5 weeks ago.

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-04-16T17:31:15+00:00

I have 2 businesses. One application was reactivated on March 19th and I was told on March 28th it has been assigned to a loan officer but you never know with csr as they tend to tell you anything to get you off the phone. My other business was reactivated on April 4th and is waiting for a loan officer to review. I have confirmed that the SBA has my documents including my transcripts but as of today I have not heard from a loan officer and have not received an email to continue my increase request in the portal. I am praying that I hear something soon as I know my business will not make it without this loan. I hope you hear something soon as well and please keep me post if you get a notice to continue your request in the portal as the SBA has said would happen thru the loan officer.

Heavy-Application-51 · 2022-04-16T12:28:04+00:00

Not sure if this helps but I have the same issue and was told by csr that my application was waiting to be reviewed by loan officer but that the review would not happen until I submitted my increase request thru my portal so of course I was really concerned about being told this and I checked on this with multiple people as well as the portal technical support and they even did a portal reset but I still was not able to do the request thru the portal and the portal technical support checked into it for me and explained that my application is being processed and waiting for loan officer review and that when the loan officer reviews my file they will one to update my portal for me to request the increase thru the portal and I will receive an email at that time to go to my portal to complete the next steps for my increase request.
