What to do

AWACS interpretation · not source language

What to review: Review the guidance on Radian-insured loans to borrowers employed by the federal government or directly affected by the shutdown. It expects lenders to follow GSE selling policies for documentation and verifications, and servicers to follow the GSE loss mitigation waterfall, including evaluating for forbearance. The record lists no mandatory changes and no effective date.

QC implications

  • For Radian-insured loans to borrowers employed by the federal government or whose employment is directly affected by the shutdown, check whether documentation and verifications followed GSE selling policies.
  • For the same affected borrowers, check whether servicers followed the GSEs' loss mitigation waterfall, including evaluating the borrower for a forbearance plan.
