As part of the usual oversight of any loan program, the SBA's Office of Inspector General said it is reviewing a sample of 300 Recovery Act loans.
Glenn Harris, counsel to the SBA OIG, confirmed with Credit Union Times that since April, the office has looked at about 300 loans including Recovery Act 7(a) loans using the 90% guaranty and those with fees waived as well as American Recovery Capital loans.
