Key Requirements

- Update servicing procedures to reflect HomeStyle Refresh rebranding by March 31, 2026 - Implement revised fraud prevention, detection, and reporting procedures - Update loan servicing systems and documentation to recognize HomeStyle Refresh product type - Review and align current fraud prevention practices with clarified Fannie Mae requirements

Scoring Rationale

This is a low-impact GSE servicing guide update primarily involving product rebranding and procedural clarifications. The HomeStyle Refresh change is cosmetic rebranding of an existing product with minimal operational adjustments required. Fraud prevention clarifications eliminate inconsistencies but don't impose new substantive obligations. Implementation timeline extends beyond 180 days, making this T4 urgency for monitoring purposes.
