The new filing deadline for physical damage and economic injury losses is December 1, 2016.
For those who have questions or need assistance with the process, the SBA recently opened a disaster loan outreach center at the Bigelow Center for Senior Activities at 100 Mona Terrace.
Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 p.m., except on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and possibly some days right before and after Christmas.
Signs will be posted when the disaster loan outreach center is closed during the holiday season.
The venue will remain active with no end date until the SBA makes a formal announcement.
In addition, applicants can call the SBA customer service center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) to receive a paper loan application in the mail.
Additional details on the locations of recovery centers and the loan application process can also be obtained by calling the customer service center, or by sending an email to disastercustomerservice@sba.gov.
“The additional time for businesses, homeowners and renters to request federal disaster loans will go a long way in continuing to support the rebuilding efforts of the communities affected by Superstorm Sandy,” said SBA Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet.
“Given the trying and long ordeal many of our beach residents have endured over the past few years, I am very pleased that the SBA has reopened the low-interest disaster loans filing period for those in our community who were impacted by Superstorm Sandy,” Tetreau said. “I highly encourage residents, renters, business owners and private non-profits to seek assistance at the Bigelow Center or to apply online.”
