Dwyer said legislation also permits SBA to refinance existing home mortgages, where substantial damage has been sustained, so long as the borrower's monthly payment is not reduced. The law also authorizes SBA to suspend principal payments for retirees in hardship cases, Dwyer added. Dwyer cautioned that damage to farms is not covered by the SBA programming.
