SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For SBA financial assistance programs, SBA 
Form 413 Personal Financial Statement (PFS) collects information 
regarding the assets and liabilities of certain owners, officers and 
guarantors of the small business applicant benefiting from such 
assistance and is used when analyzing the applicant's repayment 
abilities or creditworthiness. SBA's Surety Bond Guaranty Program uses 
the Form 413 PFS information during the claim recovery process. The 
information is also collected from applicants and participants in SBA's 
8(a) Business Development (BD) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) 
Program certification process to determine whether they meet the 
economic disadvantage requirements of the program.
    All program offices use the same Form 413. SBA plans to revise and 
clarify the instructions for the Form 413 to ensure the public will be 
aware of the specific submission process for each program office. SBA 
will update the Form 413 to include recent rule and policy updates 
related to its thresholds for inflation. Lastly, the Form 413 may 
undergo additional formatting changes to make it easier to address 
mandatory Federal government 508 accessibility compliance.
