Key Requirements
- Eliminate reactivation requests for paid-off loans after reporting period ends by July 1, 2026
- Maintain responsibility for remitting funds to liquidate erroneously paid-off loans
- Implement updated forbearance plan term structuring effective May 1, 2026
- Apply new disaster-related foreclosure proceeding policies for impacted properties
- Update month-end processing procedures to reflect simplified error correction process
Scoring Rationale
This is a moderate impact servicing guide update that eliminates a previously available error correction process while adding new disaster-related policies. The compliance score reflects new obligations around error handling and disaster procedures. Operational impact covers process changes for reporting and workout options. The July 1 effective date places this in T2 urgency tier.
