A federal loans spokesman says they’re still waiting for about 20,000 people who’ve not yet returned paperwork.
Loans if approved would cover losses not covered by flood insurance or federal grants. Already the SBA has approved more than $40 million in disaster loans related to September's historic flood in parts of the state.
A homeowner is eligible to receive up to $200,000 in loans for real estate-loss and up to $40,000 in loans to replace an automobile or furniture or other personal items. Renters can receive up to $40,000 in loans for the contents of their apartment. Businesses can receive loans up to $2 million.
