On March 22, 2025, Barry Kaufman, President of the New York State Alliance for Retired Americans, said (archived) at a rally in White Plains, New York, that the loans for the small business administration (archived) by the Ministry of Government, in factSurvivor Benefit’s Anwytes ” – the use of the same shortened SBA – paid to children whose parents have died.
Kaufman said (in 44:10):
As an example, Dodge claims to have found social security loans that go to 11-year-olds and floor. No! SBA is not a loan, but an annuity for the benefit of survivors for young children whose parents have passed. This is the problem with IT developers and billionaires without doing a job they don’t understand. You can’t find what you don’t know.
Kaufmann’s claims are distributed on Facebook, X (archived), threads (archived), reddit (archived) and Bluesky (archived).
However, it was unclear how Kaufman supported his claim to confuse the two different SBAs. Although it is almost certain of his formulation that he is referring to the SBA loan message on March 9, the allegation of the financing belonging to the survivors of the survivors takes advantage – compensation paid to admissible spouses, or sometimes children, to federal retirees – is confronted with what Fede Fede said.
The small business administration confirmed the existence of more than “5500 loans, a total of about $ 312 million for business, whose sole owner is 11 years old or more On March 12 – 10 days before Kaufman’s request. Dog had said he was working with SBA to “solve this problem”.
We reached for Kaufman and SBA to find out the claim and expect their answers.
The annexity of survivors is compensation available to federal employees under the civil service retirement system and the federal employee retirement system. The benefit is usually paid to surviving spouses or ex -spouses, but according to the Staff Management Office (OPM), the Federal Government’s Central Human Resources Agency, children may be eligible if they are dependent on the pensioner who has chosen the benefit. “Dependent” in this context means that the deceased “Make a regular and significant contribution to the child’s support. “
We reached for OPM, which manages the federal pension plans to ask how much money she paid to children at 11 or younger in this compensation in 2020-21, when Dog said the loans were paid and we were expecting an answer.
Meanwhile, the details about the loans that are said to have been discovered by Doge remain unclear. The @doge or @Doge_Sba X accounts, the previous ones are usually used for Doge public communications, have not published any more information during this writing. SBA had not provided more details about loans at the time of writing.
