PLEASE NOTE: ATTACHED ELA SCREEN SHOTS WILL BE UPDATED

TO REFLECT RECENT FORMS CHANGES ONCE APPROVED FOR USE.

• Add optional fields for Veteran Status, Gender, Race, and Ethnicity data.

• Instead of requesting that loan applicants submit Form 4506T, Tax Information Authorization, applicants will be asked to submit Form 4506C, Request for Transcript of Tax Return.

• Update references to “active duty” to “active service” as required by section 877 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Pub. L. 116-92, December 20, 2019).

• Update the nondiscrimination certification to include gender identity and sexual orientation, in accordance with Executive Order 13988.

• Revise the question about receiving additional information regarding mitigation measures to opt-out rather than opt-in.

• SBA has revised the question “Has the business or a listed owner ever been involved in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding?” to “Has the business or a listed owner filed bankruptcy in the past 2 years?” This change aligns this application with the Home Loan/Sole Proprietor Application (SBA Form 5C) and reduces the burden on the applicant and SBA.
