and claims for the reimbursement of
losses, including SBA Forms 990, 991,
994, 994B, 994F, and 994H. Except in
the case of SBA Form 994H, SBA uses
the information to evaluate whether the
small business applicant meets the
eligibility requirements for a surety
bond, as well as the likelihood that the
small business will successfully
complete the bonded contract. The
information collected for this purpose
includes: Demographics on all owners
of the bond applicant, which has no
bearing on the credit decision; the status
of any current or past SBA financial
assistance provided to the applicant;
NAICS code for applicant’s industry;
financial statements; contract amount
and nature of contract performance; and
in the event performance has begun,
evidence that applicant has paid all
suppliers and subcontractors. With
respect to SBA Form 994H, SBA uses
the information collected to evaluate the
surety’s claim for reimbursement of
losses. Surety is required to provide
information regarding the date the small
business defaulted on the contract; the
reason for the default, the amount of any
recoveries, and any additional
information that would support the
surety’s claim for reimbursement.
