Post-Convention Deep Dive: Navigating SBA Loans as Creditors—EIDLs, PPPs & More In and Out of Bankruptcy
Date: Thursday, May 29, 2025
Time: 3-4 PM (ET)
Member price: $25
Non-member price: $75
Speakers: Lisa Thompson, Esq., and Deepalie Milie Joshi, Esq.
Description: Following NACBA’s 33rd Annual Convention in Hollywood, this advanced session offers a focused examination of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as a creditor—particularly in light of the unprecedented volume of loans issued during the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 3.75 million Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) totaling more than $377 billion, SBA loan issues are increasingly common in consumer bankruptcy cases. Even businesses that experienced a temporary boost from programs like EIDL and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) have faced long-term challenges, resulting in insolvency and bankruptcy filings.
This webinar will provide a deep dive into the types of SBA loans made, the unique ways SBA functions as a creditor, and the tools and strategies available to bankruptcy practitioners when addressing these obligations both in and out of court. Topics will include treatment of SBA debt in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, administrative offset, SBA collection policies and litigation trends.

In a major victory for consumer bankruptcy debtors and their advocates, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed a troubling lower court decision in Koontz v. SN Servicing Corporation, holding that a mortgage servicer’s post-discharge collection efforts could still be subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), even where the debtor’s personal liability had been extinguished. This opinion affirms that a debtor’s in rem obligations after discharge are still “debts” under the FDCPA—and that debtors remain “consumers” protected by its provisions.

Member Options is excited to introduce Recoop Disaster Insurance—a new, enhanced benefit that is now available to you as a member of NACBA.
Did you know that your homeowners or renters’ insurance policy may have gaps in coverage that could leave you footing a large chunk of the bill after a natural disaster?
Yep, you read that right. In fact, most homes are underinsured by as much as 20% of their value. And with counties making up 97% of the U.S. population experiencing a federally declared disaster since 2010, it’s not a matter of if but when. This new program offers your members lump-sum cash benefit (up to $25,000) after a declared natural disaster including:
● Hurricanes (with storm surge)
● Wildfires
● Tornadoes
● Earthquakes
● Gas explosions
● Winter storms
● Dust storms
Recoop was founded and built to help people bounce back faster after a disaster. It’s fast recovery cash with no deductibles or gotchas that picks up where your insurance stops.
And the best part? Recoop is NOW available to NACBA Members at an exclusive rate! Don’t wait for disaster to strike—protect yourself today!
