SBA Layoffs Hit Hard—Even the People Recovering the Government’s Money
SBA Layoffs Are Here—And No One’s Job Is Safe
Let’s talk facts.
On Friday, over 1,200 employees at the SBA’s COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan Servicing Center were told: “You’re being laid off. Effective May 16.”
No warning. Just an email and a date.
And here’s the kicker: These weren’t underperformers. These were professionals recovering money for the government—handling payments, resolving bankruptcies, and keeping programs afloat.
Let that sink in.
They were making the government money…And they still got cut.
If You Work for the Government, This Is Your Wake-Up Call
The SBA is undergoing a full-blown reorganization. Over 2,700 positions are being eliminated—more than a third of the agency.
And this is while SBA is supposed to be absorbing the $1.7 trillion student loan portfolio from the Department of Education.
How do you downsize while taking on more responsibility?
You don’t. You restructure, consolidate, and cut. And if you’re in the way—you’re out.
So What Does This Mean for You?
If you’re still working for the federal government and thinking, “Whew, at least I’m safe”—you’re not.
This is happening across agencies, across job titles, and across GS levels. And the sad reality? Skill won’t save you. Loyalty won’t save you. Time served won’t save you.
So here’s the question: Do you have a backup plan?
Because I do—and I built it while working full-time. It’s called The Fed-to-Freedom Blueprint™.

Here’s What It Can Do for You:

- Launch your side business in 90 days or less
- Create an extra $3K–$5K/month—even if you’re still in your 9-5
- Give you income security in a time of government chaos
This isn’t theory. I’ve lived it. I’ve survived furloughs, freezes, layoffs—and I’ve helped others do the same.
