Borrowers 90 days or more delinquent must be reviewed for the COVID-19 Loss Mitigation Options, no matter the reason for default until October 30, 2024.

Loss Mitigation Advance now allows up to 30 percent of the unpaid principal balance to be allotted to bring the borrower current. This increased from 25 percent.

If Target Payment can’t be achieved, the lowest possible monthly payment should be offered under the COVID-19 Recovery Native Loan Modification or a COVID-19 Loss Mitigation Advance.
