If you experience an issue logging in, send an email to foia@sba.gov

Thank you for contacting our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office.  Due to a lapse in federal appropriations, our office is currently closed and staff have been furloughed. We are unable to process FOIA requests, respond to inquiries, or conduct any FOIA-related operations during this time.

What This Means for Your Request:

• New FOIA requests submitted during the shutdown will not be processed until normal operations resume
• Pending requests will experience delays, and statutory deadlines are tolled during the shutdown period
• We cannot provide status updates or respond to correspondence while furloughed
• No staff are available to assist with FOIA matters

When We Resume Operations:

Once funding is restored and normal operations resume, we will:

• Process requests in the order they were received
• Respond to inquiries as quickly as possible
• Provide updates on pending matters

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience during this time. Please check [agency website] for updates on when normal operations will resume.
