When talking about different types of small business loans, a key program to understand is the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), which has been crucial for many businesses and entrepreneurs during challenging times.
The EIDL loan is for any businesses located in an official disaster area or experiencing substantial economic injury. The SBA has introduced the EIDL Hardship Accommodation Plan, which helps those facing continued financial difficulties. In this blog post, we will explore what the plan entails and how it can benefit loan recipients seeking EIDL loan forgiveness.
Many EIDL loan recipients are eager to achieve loan forgiveness to alleviate their financial burdens. If you fall on continued hard times after receiving the EIDL, there is a plan forward. The process of EIDL loan forgiveness involves meeting certain criteria set by the SBA.
The EIDL Hardship Accommodation Plan is designed to offer relief to borrowers who are struggling to repay their EIDL loans due to unforeseen, short-term financial hardships. This plan allows borrowers to request accommodations such as loan term extensions, payment deferrals, and other options to help them manage their loan obligations more effectively.
To qualify for the EIDL Hardship Accommodation Plan, borrowers must demonstrate that they are facing financial difficulty that impacts their ability to repay their EIDL loan, such as being default on payments. Borrowers can submit a request for accommodation to the SBA, outlining their specific circumstances and providing any supporting documentation as needed. At Protect Law Group, we are committed to helping borrowers through this process.
By participating in the EIDL Hardship Accommodation Plan, borrowers can potentially avoid defaulting on their EIDL loans and preserve their credit ratings. The accommodations provided under this plan can help borrowers navigate challenging financial situations and work towards achieving EIDL loan forgiveness in the long run.
The EIDL Hardship Accommodation Plan serves as a valuable resource for recipients who are facing financial difficulties after receiving and seeking forgiveness. Protect Law Group can assist you in navigating this process from start to finish by outlining steps, negotiating on your behalf, and offering small business law expertise. By understanding the purpose of this plan, how to qualify for it, and the benefits it offers, borrowers can take proactive steps to manage their EIDL loans effectively and secure their financial stability.

Millions of Dollars in SBA Debts Resolved via Offer in Compromise and Negotiated Repayment Agreements without our Clients filing for Bankruptcy or Facing Home Foreclosure
Millions of Dollars in Treasury Debts Defended Against via AWG Hearings, Treasury Offset Program Resolution, Cross-servicing Disputes, Private Collection Agency Representation, Compromise Offers and Negotiated Repayment Agreements
Our Attorneys are Authorized by the Agency Practice Act to Represent Federal Debtors Nationwide before the SBA, The SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals, the Treasury Department, and the Bureau of Fiscal Service.
Client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan to help with a relative’s new business venture. After the business failed, Treasury was able to secure a recurring Treasury Offset Program (TOP) levy against his monthly Social Security Benefits based on the claim that he owed over $1.2 million dollars. We initially submitted a Cross-Servicing Dispute, but then, prepared and filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals (SBA OHA). As a result of our efforts, we were able to convince the SBA to not only terminate the claimed debt of $1.2 million dollars against our client (without him having to file bankruptcy) but also refund the past recurring amounts that were offset from his Social Security Benefits in connection with the TOP levy.
Clients' 7(a) loan was referred to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service for enforced collection in 2015. They not only personally guaranteed the loan, but also pledged their primary residence as additional collateral. One of the clients filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy thinking that it would discharge the SBA 7(a) lien encumbering their home. They later discovered that they were mistakenly advised. The Firm was subsequently hired to review their case and defend against a series of collection actions. Eventually, we were able to negotiate a structured workout for $180,000 directly with the SBA, saving them approximately $250,000 (by reducing the default interest rate and removing Treasury's substantial collection fees) and from possible foreclosure.
Clients obtained an SBA 7(a) loan for their small business in the amount of $298,000. They pledged their primary residence and personal guarantees as direct collateral for the loan. The business failed, the lender was paid the 7(a) guaranty money and the debt was assigned to the SBA. Clients received the Official 60-Day Notice giving them a couple of options to resolve the debt balance directly with the SBA before referral to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. The risk of referral to Treasury would add nearly $95,000 to the SBA principal loan balance. With the default interest rate at 7.5%, the amount of money to pay toward interest was projected at $198,600. Clients hired the Firm with only 4 days left to respond to the 60-Day due process notice. Because the clients were not eligible for an Offer in Compromise (OIC) due to the significant equity in their home and the SBA lien encumbering it, the Firm Attorneys proposed a Structured Workout to resolve the SBA debt. After back and forth negotiations, the SBA Loan Specialist assigned to the case approved the Workout terms which prevented potential foreclosure of their home, but also saved the clients approximately $294,000 over the agreed-upon Workout term with a waiver of all contractual and statutory administrative fees, collection costs, penalties, and interest.
