The short answer
SBAD TREAS 310 is a deposit from the U.S. Small Business Administration paid through the Treasury. SBAD marks it as an SBA disbursement, and 310 is the Treasury's ACH credit code. It is most often an Economic Injury Disaster Loan or a disaster-related advance to a business.
Why it shows up like this
SBAD TREAS 310 appears when the U.S. Small Business Administration sends money to a business bank account through the Treasury. The SBA approves the disbursement, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service pushes it over the Automated Clearing House, and your bank stamps the shared 310 credit code. SBAD is the SBA's company identifier in that transfer, which is how you tell it apart from an IRS or Social Security 310 deposit.
The most common source is the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, which lends to businesses hurt by a declared disaster. During the COVID-19 period the SBA also paid smaller EIDL advances that did not have to be repaid, and those landed with the same SBAD TREAS 310 descriptor, which is why the amount can range from a few hundred dollars to a much larger loan disbursement.
Whether the money must be repaid depends on what it is. A loan advance or grant does not need repayment, but the EIDL loan itself does, on the terms in your SBA loan agreement. Because the statement does not spell out which one you received, confirming it against your SBA account matters so you know whether repayment, interest, or reporting obligations follow.
