FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>The Republican chairman of the House Committee on Small Business is accusing the Small Business Administration<\/a> (SBA) of failing to protect coronavirus loan programs from fraud after a government report found that the agency disbursed over $200 billion in possibly fraudulent COVID-19 loans, nearly double that which was previously expected.<\/p>\n

The Small Business Administration Office of the Inspector General said in its report on COVID-19 pandemic loan<\/a> fraud on Tuesday that the agency disbursed more than $200 billion in potentially fraudulent PPP loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loans during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

In total, the SBA’s Office of the Inspector General said there were 4.5 million potentially fraudulent loans and grants from pandemic loan programs.<\/p>\n

The Office of the Inspector General said the SBA “did not have an established strong internal control environment for approving and disbursing program funds,” adding that “there was an insufficient barrier against fraudsters accessing funds that should have been available for eligible business owners adversely affected by the pandemic.”<\/p>\n

Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas., said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the Office of the Inspector General report shows significantly more criminal activity occurred than was previously known.<\/p>\n

“These findings show the SBA failed to implement basic guardrails to protect the integrity of these programs, resulting in roughly 1 in 5 loans dispersed being labeled as potentially fraudulent. When COVID-19 hit the United States, the SBA was tasked with taking on an oversized role to help save small businesses and our nation\u2019s job creators. Unfortunately, these after-action reports show the agency was not up to the task. I look forward to hearing directly from Inspector General Ware in July on what went wrong, how to fix these issues, and what recourse we must take to recoup these stolen taxpayer dollars,” Williams said.<\/p>\n

According to the Office of the Inspector General report, SBA management said that the report contains “serious flaws that significantly overestimate fraud.” The Office of the Inspector General said in response that “we remain confident in our estimates of potential fraud for the COVID-19 EIDL program and PPP.”<\/p>\n

In a press release by the Small Business Administration, Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman said that “Pandemic relief programs, including those supported by President Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan, have driven a historic economic recovery<\/a>, including saving millions of businesses and creating over 13 million jobs since 2021.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the Small Business Administration for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
