Disaster loan paperwork due
HARRISBURG - Disaster applicants who registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster assistance and received a Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan application must complete and return it, even if they do not want a loan.
A completed disaster loan application is the gateway to determining the type of assistance a homeowner or renter may be eligible for, according to FEMA.
Filling out the disaster loan application does not mean an applicant will be approved for a loan, nor does it mean they must accept a loan if they are approved. If the applicant is denied a loan, they may be considered for other FEMA programs. Insurance does not have to be settled before submitting a completed SBA disaster loan application.
Assistance in completing the application and more information is available locally at a disaster relief center operating 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week on the second floor of the Northumberland County Career and Arts Center, Eighth and Arch streets, Shamokin. Help is also available by calling SBA at 1-800-659-2955, by emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov, or visiting www.sba.gov.
