Loan Guaranty: Loan Reporting and Partial or Total Loss of Guaranty or Insurance

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations governing loan reporting requirements for lenders that participate in the VA-guaranteed home loan program and circumstances when VA would assert a defense for partial or total loss of guaranty or insurance for lenders and holders. These proposed amendments would support VA's ongoing efforts to modernize and transform technology and processes within the guaranteed home loan program, capitalizing on industry standard datasets. In addition, the proposed regulatory changes would update and enhance the loan guaranty reporting requirements for lenders, providing veterans stronger protections against noncompliant loans through improved transparency and oversight of the program.
