As of January 2025, there are no plans to forgive outstanding SBA EIDL loans. There are a variety of challenges involved with widespread forgiveness.
The SBA has several aggressive collection methods at its disposal to recover the debt, which may include: Wage garnishment: The SBA can garnish your wages, taking a portion of your income directly from your paycheck. Bank account levies: They can freeze and seize funds from your business or personal bank accounts.
Individuals who own 20% or more of a small business applicant must provide an unlimited personal guaranty. SBA Lenders may use this form.
A Forbearance Agreement can be a versatile tool after a default has occurred. In a Forbearance Agreement, the Lender specifically preserves the Borrower's default, but agrees to forbear on collection for a specified period in exchange for certain accommodations from the Borrower.
