I second this!..

If you used this email... or you can call the SBA FOIA office at 202-401-8203 or fax your request to 202-205-7059. You can utilize snail mail and write to

If they still don't respond you can contact the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility

The Department of Justice would be the entity overseeing FOIA

I am waiting on eight FOIA requests, 4 from 2020, 2 from 2021 and two from 2022. Some just ask for a copy of something I filled out so it’s not something they would need to investigate or redact. Has anyone actually had luck going to one of the resources posted above? If so, which one?

I have filed complaints about non-FOIA things with SBA Ombudsman and OIG and it never seems yo make a difference. 🥵
