## Summary

The Office of Inspector General is issuing this management advisory to present the results of our review of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) incomplete reviews of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) and grants disbursed to borrowers who self-disclosed their business establishment dates after January 31, 2020.


## Recommendations

- **Rec 1** (Open): Review the 17,568 COVID-19 EIDLs and Emergency EIDL Advances identified with business establishment dates after January 31, 2020, to determine eligibility and to seek recovery of funds from ineligible recipients.
- **Rec 2** (Open): Assess the automated controls within the agency’s new lending platform, the Unified Lending Platform (ULP), to ensure they align with clearly defined disaster assistance criteria.
