Scoring Rationale

This is a routine Fannie Mae servicing guide update with mostly clarifying changes and some new income assessment requirements. The remittance clarifications align with current practices and reduce servicer obligations. The income assessment updates introduce new policies but appear to be incremental improvements for clarity and consistency. Given the June 1, 2026 deadline has passed, institutions should have already implemented these changes.
