SBA Waives Interest Rate for Disaster Loans

On December 5, the Small Business Administration announced it will waive the interest rate for the first year on new disaster loans. Further, it will automatically extend the initial payment deferment period to 12 months. The change is effective for all disaster loans approved in response to disasters declared from September 21, 2022 – September 30, 2023. The effective date covers SBA disaster loans currently available for Hurricane Fiona and Hurricane Ian. SBA does not have the authority to forgive interest that has already accrued on disbursed loan funds.
