Affidavit is collected from applicants
in support of their declaration of identity theft regarding a loan
application submitted for an economic injury loan related to
COVID-19. SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance (ODA) will use the
information to investigate the assertion.

the decrease in the number of suspected fraud loans in the COVID
programs from the original estimates. Additional changes in burden
are estimated due to further expansion of this form to other
lending programs.
