HUD and SBA Team Up to Spot Deadbeat Borrowers

Published Date: 7/2/2026

Notice

Summary

HUD and the Small Business Administration are teaming up to share info about people who owe money to the government. This new program helps check if someone is behind on federal debts before they get a federal loan, making sure loans go to responsible borrowers. It starts around July 2, 2026, runs for 18 months, and could save taxpayers money by reducing risky lending.

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

SBA Delinquencies Added to CAIVRS

If you are a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor, or other obligor on an SBA disaster or business loan and are delinquent, SBA will transmit your debtor data (including SSN, EIN/TIN, case number, and status codes) to HUD for inclusion in CAIVRS. This prescreening data will be used by Federal agencies, authorized contractors, and approved financial institutions to check applicants for Federal direct or federally guaranteed loans. The matching program starts about July 2, 2026, and runs for an initial 18 months.

Prescreening Aims To Reduce Risk

HUD and the SBA will use the matching program to help prescreen applicants for Federal direct or federally guaranteed loans by checking CAIVRS for delinquent Federal debt. The notice says this supports Federal credit eligibility determinations and could save taxpayers money by reducing risky lending; the program begins around July 2, 2026 and will run for 18 months.
