Even if you were declined because you accepted your SBA loan we need to have everyone send this message to help those 2,000+ others that declined.

...
Send the message using the Governor's contact form at this address: http://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/form/home/4

We would like to know when Restore.LA.Gov FAQ will be updated to reflect H.R. 1892 which was signed into law 2-8-2018 by President Trump.
The SBA loans that were approved but declined are no longer considered duplication of benefits by federal law.

115th Congress House Bill 1892 Text

"
Provided further, That with respect to any such duplication of benefits, the Secretary and any grantee under this section shall not take into consideration or reduce the amount provided to any applicant for assistance from the grantee where such applicant applied for and was approved, but declined assistance related to such major declared disasters that occurred in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 from the Small Business Administration under section 7(b) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636(b))
