The U.S. Small Business Administration's Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program has played a vital role in helping keep San Diego's economy afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it has also proven to be vulnerable to fraud, and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is prioritizing the prosecution of EIDL loan fraud cases nationwide.

7 Common Allegations in EIDL Loan Fraud Cases

1. Submitting a Fraudulent Loan Application

Submitting a fraudulent application for an EIDL loan is perhaps the most-common allegation in EIDL loan fraud cases.

2. Misrepresenting the Size of a Business

Eligible businesses must have fewer than 500 employees.

3. Receiving Multiple EIDL Loans

Each business is only entitled to receive one EIDL loan.

4. Falsely Certifying EIDL Loan Compliance

EIDL loan recipients are required to certify their compliance with the terms of their loans on an ongoing basis.

5. Using EIDL Loan Funds for Ineligible Purposes

The EIDL loan program limits the purposes for which recipients can use their loans.

6. Commingling EIDL Loan Funds with Other Sources of Income

Recipients should maintain separate bank accounts for their federal relief loans.
