3508 Frequently Asked Questions

All loans disbursed on or after June 5 use the 24-week Covered Period. A borrower whose loan was disbursed before June 5 can elect to use the 8-week Covered Period. However, there are serious limitations if you elect the 8-week period. Please see the SBA Instructions for more information.
