Do I have to apply for a SBA loan in order to be eligible for other Federal assistance? Quick answer is No, you do not have to apply to the SBA to recieve other federal assitance. But don't think FEMA or the SBA will tell you what other options you have. FEMA and the SBA were setup by Congress to reduce disaster debt on the federal government by passing the debt of recovery to homeowners.
