FILING REQUIREMENTS
We want to provide as much help as possible toward your recovery from the disaster. The information we ask you
for is necessary if we are to provide as much assistance as possible, as quickly as possible. FOR THIS REASON,
WE ASK YOU TO CONTACT AN SBA DISASTER REPRESENTATIVE AT ONCE IF YOU HAVE ANY
PROBLEMS PROVIDING THE INFORMATION LISTED BELOW. Disaster loans must comply with the laws
passed by Congress, and therefore we may not always be able to do all that you ask.
For your protection, if you use a contractor, we urge you to consider one that is bonded.
ALL LOANS
Î Complete and sign this application form (SBA Form 5C).
Î Complete and sign the Tax Information Authorization (IRS Form 8821) enclosed with this application. This income information,
obtained from the IRS, will help us determine your repayment ability. If we need additional income information, you may be asked
to provide copies of your income tax returns including all schedules.

Î If you have changed employment within the past 2 years, attach a copy of a current (within 1 month of the application date) pay
stub.
If
Î you have insurance and your claim has been settled, attach a copy of your settlement sheet or adjuster’s proof of loss. If your
claim has not been settled, attach a copy of the schedule of coverage from your insurance policy. This information is needed
because the law only allows us to loan the difference between your disaster losses and any insurance or other recoveries.

Î If you have any questions about this application, you may call us at 1-800-659-2955. If you decide to pay someone (an attorney,
accountant, friend, etc.) to help fill out this application, that person must read and sign Item 9 in Section F.

NOTE: IF YOUR APPLICATION IS APPROVED
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS MAY BE NEEDED
Î If you OWN your residence, a legible copy of the COMPLETE deed, including the legal description of the property.
If you RENT your residence, a copy of your complete rental or lease agreement, or letter from your landlord describing the terms of

Î your lease, or a copy of a utility bill that shows your place of residence at the time of the disaster. This enables us to establish your
eligibility for a disaster loan.
If you had damage to a mobile home, a copy of the title to the mobile home being claimed. If you own the lot where the mobile

Î home is located, a copy of the COMPLETE deed to the lot, including the legal description.
If you have damage to an automobile, a copy of the current registration to any damaged automobile or other vehicles you have

Î included in your losses.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please refer to Section and Item Number

NOTE: PLEASE READ, DETACH AND KEEP FOR YOUR RECORDS
STATEMENTS REQUIRED BY LAWS AND EXECUTIVE ORDERS
To comply with legislation passed by the Congress and Executive Orders issued by the President, Federal executive
agencies, including the Small Business Administration (SBA), must notify you of certain information. You can find the
regulations and policies implementing these laws and Executive Orders in Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
Chapter 1, or our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). In order to provide the required notices, the following is a brief
summary of the various laws and Executive Orders that affect SBA’s Disaster Loan Programs.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (5 U.S.C. § 552)
This law provides, with some exceptions, that we must make records or portions of records contained in our files available to
persons requesting them. This generally includes aggregate statistical information on our disaster loan programs and other
information such as names of borrowers (and their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), loan amounts at maturity,
the collateral pledged, and the general purpose of loans. We do not routinely make available to third parties your proprietary
data without first doing pre-notification, as required by Executive Order #12600, or information that would cause
competitive harm or constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Send a request under this Act to the SBA office maintaining the records requested and identify it as a Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request. The request must describe the specific records you want. For information about the FOIA,
contact the Chief, FOI/PA Office, 409 3rd Street, SW, Suite 5900, Washington, DC 20416, or by e-mail at [email protected].
PRIVACY ACT (5 U.S.C. § 552a)
You can request to see or get copies of any personal information that we have in your file, when that file is retrieved by
individual identifiers, such as name or social security numbers. Requests for information about another party may be denied
unless we have the written permission of the individual to release the information to the requestor or unless the information
is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. This form contains written permission for us to disclose the
information resulting from this collection with state, local or private disaster relief services.
Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide social security numbers. However, we use social
security numbers to distinguish between people with a similar or the same name. Failure to provide this number may not
affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled by law, but having the number makes it easier for us to more
accurately identify to whom adverse credit information applies and to keep accurate loan records.
The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use
for SBA’s loan system of records is that when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether
civil, criminal, or administrative in nature, SBA may refer it to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or
foreign, charged with responsibility for or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of
such violations. Another routine use of personal information is to assist in obtaining credit bureau reports, on the Disaster
Loan Applicants and guarantors for purposes of originating, servicing, and liquidating Disaster loans. See, 69 F.R. 58598,
58617 (and as amended from time to time) for additional background and other routine uses.
Note: Any person concerned with the collection, use and disclosure of information under the Privacy Act may contact the
Chief, FOI/PA Office, 409 3rd Street, SW, Suite 5900, Washington, DC 20416 or by e-mail at [email protected] for information
about the Agency’s procedures relating to the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act.
RIGHT TO FINANCIAL PRIVACY ACT OF 1978 (12 U.S.C. § 3401 et seq.)
This notifies you, as required by the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (Act), of our right to access financial records
held by financial institutions that were or are doing business with you or your business. This includes financial institutions
participating in loans or loan guarantees.
The law provides that we may access your financial records when considering or administering Government loan or loan
guaranty assistance to you. We must give a financial institution a certificate of our compliance with the Act when we first
request access to your financial records. No other certification is required for later access. Our access rights continue for the
term of any approved loan or loan guaranty. We do not have to give you any additional notice of our access rights during the
term of the loan or loan guaranty.

We may transfer to another Government authority any financial records included in a loan application or about an approved
loan or loan guaranty as necessary to process, service, liquidate, or foreclose a loan or loan guaranty. We will not permit any
transfer of your financial records to another Government authority except as required or permitted by law.
CONSUMER CREDIT PROTECTION ACT (15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)
This legislation gives an applicant who is refused credit because of adverse information about the applicant's credit,
reputation, character or mode of living an opportunity to refute or challenge the accuracy of such reports. Therefore, if we
decline your loan in whole or in part because of adverse information in a credit report, you will be given the name and
address of the reporting agency so you can seek to have that agency correct its report, if inaccurate. If we decline your loan
in whole or in part because of adverse information received from a source other than a credit reporting agency, you will be
given information but not the source of the report.
Within 3 days after the consummation of the transaction, any recipient of an SBA loan which is secured in whole or in part
by a lien on the recipient’s residence or household contents may rescind such a loan in accordance with “Regulation Z” of
the Federal Reserve Board.
DEBT COLLECTION ACT OF 1982 AND DEFICIT REDUCTION ACT OF 1984 (31 U.S.C. § 3701 et
seq. and other titles)
These laws require us to aggressively collect any delinquent loan payments. You must give your taxpayer identification
number to us when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan and do not make payments when they become due, we may
take one or more of the following actions (this list may not be exhaustive):
*Report the delinquency to credit reporting bureaus.
*Offset your income tax refunds or other amounts due you from the Federal Government.
*Refer the account to a private collection agency or other agency operating a debt collection center.
*Suspend or debar you from doing business with the Federal Government.
*Refer your loan to the Department of Justice.
*Foreclose on collateral or take other actions permitted in the loan instruments.
*Garnish wages.
*Sell the debt.
*Litigate or foreclose.
PLEASE NOTE: The estimated burden for completing this form is 1.5 hours. Your responses to the requested information
are required in order to obtain a benefit under our Disaster Home Loan Program. However, you are not required to respond
to any collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB approval number. If you have questions or
comments concerning any aspects of this information collection, please contact the U.S. Small Business Administration
Information Branch, 409 3rd Street, SW, Washington, DC 20416 and Desk Officer for SBA, Office of Management and
Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503. (3245-0018) PLEASE
DO NOT SEND FORMS TO OMB.
