SBA & Federal Debt Advisory Services has expanded its consulting offerings in response to the growing number of Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) defaults now affecting borrowers nationwide. The company said that as more COVID-era EIDL accounts move into federal collection channels, many business owners are encountering federal administrative collection procedures for the first time.

Unlike Paycheck Protection Program loans, which were largely forgivable, EIDL loans generally require repayment. Loans exceeding $200,000 often included personal guarantees, which can extend liability beyond the business entity itself and leave borrowers personally responsible for repayment even after business operations have ended.
“When borrowers signed for larger EIDL loans, many were focused on keeping their businesses operating during an emergency period,” a representative from SBA & Federal Debt Advisory Services said. “What many are now discovering is that once a loan enters federal collection, the process changes significantly.”
When EIDL payments remain delinquent for an extended period, accounts may be transferred from the Small Business Administration to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service for collection through the federal Cross-Servicing program. Once referred, collection activity is handled through federal administrative processes rather than standard SBA servicing channels.
These collection procedures may include Treasury Offset Program activity involving federal payments, administrative wage garnishment, collection notices, and ongoing account servicing through Treasury-authorized systems and contractors.
According to SBA & Federal Debt Advisory Services, many borrowers do not fully understand how federal non-tax debt collection differs from private consumer debt collection until they begin receiving Treasury correspondence or experience offset activity.
The company said that one of the most important steps borrowers can take is reviewing Treasury notices early and understanding the administrative rights and response options available during the collection process.
