Temporary Suspension of USDA Packaging Services

Effective January 31, 2025

Service2Sumter is temporarily pausing new applications for the following USDA financial assistance programs:

• 502 Direct Loan Applications

• 504 Health and Safety Grant/Loan

This suspension is in response to a freeze on financial assistance programs. While we are not accepting new applications at this time, we will continue processing and closing any obligated applications submitted before January 31, 2025.

What This Means for You

• If you applied before January 31, 2025, your application will still be reviewed and processed.

• If you were planning to apply, we encourage you to check back for updates on when applications will reopen.

Preparing for the Future

During this downtime, Service2Sumter will conduct internal packaging training to ensure our team is fully prepared for the next Presidentially Declared Disaster.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support.
