As of January 2025, there are no plans to forgive outstanding SBA EIDL loans.
An assumption, in the context of commercial contracts, is a belief or statement accepted as true or as sure to happen, without proof. It's like a starting point in a contract that everyone agrees upon before they start discussing the details.
Assumption of liability refers to a situation where an individual or organization agrees to take on the legal responsibilities and risks associated with a certain action, transaction, or contract.
A debt assumption involves two simultaneous transactions; the first transaction cancels the original debtor's obligation, and the second transaction creates a new debt contract between the creditor and the new debtor, or assumer.
There is no provision for forgiveness on these loans, nor should anyone expect that there will be. The EIDL is a decades-old program, and if they forgive loans for this particular disaster, then borrowers for every other EIDL program are going to expect forgiveness on their loans as well. It's not happening.
