Your Position in 504 Loan Queue

The loan application number is the key to knowing your place in line for funding of new SBA loan applications or increases. If you do not know your loan application number, enter your EIN number or SSN into the left field below, select which number you have entered and submit your request. Your loan application number will appear within the screen below.

Once you know your loan application number, enter it into the right field and submit your request. The window below will display the number and dollar amount of all new loan applications or requests for increases ahead of yours in the SBA Loan Queue.

This information is provided to assist you in deciding whether it makes sense to remain in the Queue or to request that your lender withdraw your loan application from the Queue and re-submit it as a different loan type.

If the computer search does not find a loan application number for your loan application, SBA may still be reviewing the request including requiring additional information from the lender. Try contacting the lender to inquire about your loan application number or check back with the site to see if the number has become available.

Note: Submitting your Tax Identification Number is conducted via 128-Bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for security purposes.

Important Notice: You may have noticed a change in your position in the SBA Loan Queue since your last inquiry. The Queue is dynamic and there are three possible reasons for this change:

  • Previously approved loans that are submitted for increases have priority over new loan applications and are put at the head of the Queue in the order in which they were received.

  • Periodically, previously approved Recovery Act loans will cancel allowing us to recycle those funds and approve applications that may be ahead of yours in the Queue.

  • On November 24, we corrected the calculator to reflect when your application was contingently approved vs. when you originally submitted your application. This may have changed the order for applications already in the Queue at that time.

If you have any questions, please contact the SBA district office nearest you.
