What to do
AWACS interpretation · not source languageWhat to review: First review the LL-2026-03 property insurance changes in sections B-2-01 and B-2-02, which servicers must implement by Jan. 1, 2027 and may implement now, then note that the minor renovation and second lien alignment edits and the Chapter B-2 reorganization are effective immediately without being mandatory actions.
Servicing
Implement the LL-2026-03 property insurance changes by Jan. 1, 2027, and optionally implement them sooner.
QC implications
- Test that servicing has implemented the LL-2026-03 property insurance changes by Jan. 1, 2027.
- Sample loans after Jan. 1, 2027 to confirm the changes are applied, including renovation and second lien mortgage loans.
- If a servicer adopts the changes before Jan. 1, 2027, treat that early use as permitted.
