Should the applicant cancel or decline the loan or should you allow the SBA to cancel your loan?

The SBA will use a different declined loan code or reason for cancel code depending on your actions. If you simply choose to ignore the phone calls and letters from the SBA you might get a different code than if you informed the SBA that you decline.

Federal Disaster Assistance

When you are navigating the federal disaster assistance agencies your first stop should be to the TruckAndTools.Com Disaster Resources. Every disaster agency uses the same process but not every disaster agency follows strict policy and guidance. Don't go into your disaster recovery with blind trust of your federal and state agencies that are leading the push to get you sheltered and out of the program.

Should the applicant cancel / decline the loan or should you allow the agency (SBA) to cancel your loan?

If you follow the process of "No Communications" by not signing the loan documents SBA will follow it's agency cancellation policy and attempt to contact you before at and just past the signing expiration date. They will then wait for their loan QA department to determine you unresponsive and then decline your loan. This process is typically 60 to 90 days from the date of the loan offer.

Agency Cancellation C10. Failure to complete and return all loan closing documents.

If applicant cancels the loan and specifies a reason the SBA will note and cancel the loan at that time.

Cancellation at Borrower's Request
C20. Adequate recovery from other sources.
C21. Reluctant to incur additional debt.
C22. Dissatisfied with loan terms and conditions.
C23. Dissatisfied with insurance requirements.
C24. Unwilling to pledge collateral.
C25. Did not need all the funds. – (Borrower Decision)
C26. Other reasons. – (Borrower Decision)
C27. Dissatisfied with loan interest rate (market rate). – (Borrower Decision)

If the applicant cancels the loan without a reason the SBA will apply a reason. This method may close the door for additional federal assistance.
