Analysis of SBA’s Fiscal Year 2025 Disaster Assistance Program Data

The Office of Inspector General is issuing this report to present the results of our analysis of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan program data for disasters declared in fiscal year (FY) 2025. Our objective was to examine disaster assistance response data for FY 2025, across the 10 SBA regions, focusing on the types of declarations and disasters, volume of disaster loan applications, timeliness of disaster loan application processing, and the disbursement of disaster loans. Our intent was to provide a high-level review of disasters nationwide and to identify any data anomalies for potential future work.

We found that SBA administered the disaster assistance loan program consistently across the nation.

We did not make any recommendations in this report, and SBA did not provide official comments.
