This bill would make the Small Business Administration’s watchdog send regular updates to Congress about COVID‑19 loan fraud. Within 60 days of the law taking effect—and then every three months—the SBA Inspector General must report how many borrowers committed fraud with these loans, plus details about the cases and the money involved.
The reports must cover loans made under the pandemic programs, including Paycheck Protection Program–style loans under section 7(a) and COVID‑19 disaster loans under section 7(b) of the Small Business Act. Each report must list the number and total dollar amount of loans made, new fraud or suspected fraud cases, the number of cases resolved, and the types of fraud seen. The requirement ends two years after the law starts, and it does not authorize new spending to carry it out.
