Representative Pope,
In response to your question last week about whether an SBA loan would still be considered a duplication of benefits if it were paid back before the program grant becomes available, the answer is yes, it would still be a DOB. The approval and then drawing of funds is what triggers the DOB, not the loan balance. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Every disaster agency uses the same process but not every disaster agency follows strict policy and guidance.
