House Passes Bill Removing Noncitizen Eligibility for Federal Business Loans
- On Friday, the U.S. House approved a bill that prevents most noncitizens from qualifying for Small Business Administration loans.
- The bill mandates that the SBA confirm applicants’ citizenship and age, effectively preventing noncitizens—including undocumented individuals, refugees, asylum seekers, those with visas, and DACA beneficiaries—from receiving SBA loans.
- The legislation codifies recent SBA reforms and passed 217-190 despite objections from Democrats who say it will harm small businesses.
- SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler stated that individuals who are not legally authorized and those committing fraud should not have access to loans funded by taxpayers through the SBA, commending the bill for promoting greater accountability.
- If enacted, the bill aims to improve transparency and protect taxpayer dollars but may restrict access to funding for some small businesses.
