Sacramento, Calif.

- The U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Disaster Assistance in Sacramento is hiring commercial and home mortgage loan officers to help thousands of survivors recover from devastating losses caused by the August severe storms and flooding in Louisiana.  SBA immediately needs commercial and home loan officers to help process thousands of applications for SBA’s disaster assistance programs.

“In large, widespread disasters, SBA often pulls together employees from across the country to meet urgent needs,” said Tanya N. Garfield, Director of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West.  “The damage caused by this disaster is extensive and covers a wide geographic area, so a substantial workforce is needed to get help to survivors quickly.  SBA’s Sacramento disaster office is hiring temporary employees as part of a national effort to meet those needs,” she continued.

According to Garfield, SBA needs loan officers with backgrounds that include mortgage underwriters, accountants, bankers, loan officers and financial/credit managers. “Candidates for positions as a business loan officer should have prior commercial/business lending experience or experience analyzing financial statements and tax returns and reviewing credit reports,” she said.  “For positions as a home loan officer, candidates should have experience reviewing income documentation such as pay stubs, W2s and tax returns.  Candidates also must have experience in determining repayment ability and evaluating consumer credit reports,” she continued.

“SBA is the federal government’s disaster bank.  SBA disaster loans are the primary source of federal disaster assistance for owners of nonfarm, private property,” Garfield said.  “This includes businesses of all sizes, private nonprofit organizations, homeowners and renters.  Owners of private property damaged by the severe storms and flooding who don’t have insurance to fully cover their losses may seek low interest disaster loans from SBA,” she continued.

These positions will pay a base hourly rate of $20.57 - $30.44.  Overtime will be paid for hours in excess of 40 hours per week.  Weekend work may be required and mandatory overtime could be substantial.
