The publication of APM 23-05: “Additional Reporting and Feedback System (RFS) Loan Level Data Elements” updated the Request for Release of Documents (Form HUD-11708) Issuers use to request loan documents from their Document Custodians. The form was updated to add a reason code 7 - Special Assistance, so that loans liquidated pursuant to the Special Assistance programs in Chapter 34 of the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide (MBS Guide) can be identified. However, when the MBS Guide was updated, App. V-01 - Document Custody Manual (DCM) and App. V-05 - Request for Release of Documents, were not included.
Ginnie Mae has revised App. V-05 and the links in the MBS guide as well as DCM to reflect the updated Form HUD-11708.
If you have any questions regarding the policy changes in this announcement, please contact your Account Executive in the Office of Issuer and Portfolio Management.
