RHS issued a SFH Guaranteed Servicing Notice (Notice) announcing amendments to chapters 17, 18, and 19 of the SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook (HB-1-3555). Chapter 17 pertains to regular servicing (for performing loans), chapter 18 pertains to servicing non-performing loans (accounts with repayment problems), and chapter 19 pertains to loss claims (collecting on the guarantee). The chapters were amended to implement the changes adopted in a recent final rule amending the special servicing options for non-performing loans and adjusting the Mortgage Recovery Advance process. The amendments to chapters 17, 18, and 19 are effective February 11, 2025 (in conjunction with the final rule).
