Servicing your EIDL Loan
Borrowers should review their loan authorization to ensure all terms are being followed. For loans above $25,000, the SBA filed a lien on the business assets. If a business owner wants to sell a piece of equipment or the business itself, the SBA will need to approve the release of its lien.
EIDL borrowers in Connecticut can contact SBA’s Birmingham Service Center Office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 am – 4:00 pm CT. 800-736-6048 TTY:711 or email: Bham.Realty@sba.gov
For possible EIDL fraud, please email to OIGHotline@sba.gov; or call SBA Office of Inspector General (OIG) Hotline at 1-800-767-0385.
