Is there any prohibition on discharging loans owed to SBA (Small Business Administration). SBA is a governmental entity

My unbderstanding from past experience is that if the loan is under $10,000, it usually is unsecured. When it is over $10,000, it ususally is secured against the business or something they own.

Question for CDCBAA members, from KPMarch:
Is there any prohibition on discharging loans owed to SBA (Small Business Administration). SBA is a governmental entity, so loan is money owed to a governmental entity, but not a tax, fine, restitution, etc.
Have CDCBAA attorneys had any instances of SBA claiming that a loan owed to SBA is nondischargeable for any reason? Have CDCBAA attorneys scheduled and had SBA loans discharged without any problem?
Past clients my firm had always had SECURED SBA loans.
Now my firm has 2 different clients with UNSECURED SBA loans. PS: If anyone knows of any relevant Code cite or caselaw, please REPLY to tell me. I took a quick (10 minute) look on Westlaw, didn't see anything definitive. Thx all.
