Summary
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is issuing this Evaluation Report to determine whether the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) made Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans in accordance with program size standards. This is a follow-up to our earlier report which identified 355 PPP loans that likely exceeded the maximum size standard and may have been erroneously approved. Based on updated data analysis, we identified that 79 of those 355 loans still appeared to exceed the maximum size standard.
