When funds provided by a mortgagor to a mortgagee are not fully disbursed with the initial advance of the insured mortgage proceeds, the proposed rule would permit mortgagees to disburse up to 1 percent of the mortgage amount initially endorsed for insurance before requiring that the funds provided by the mortgagor be disbursed in full. This proposed change would allow mortgagees to pool mortgages into mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association prior to the funds provided by the mortgagor being disbursed in full.

Under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), is issuing a public notice of its intent to create a new system of records, Voice of the Customer (VoC).

HUD's regulations require mortgagees of Federal Housing Administration insured single family mortgages to meet in person, or make a reasonable effort to meet in person, with mortgagors who are in default on their mortgage payments. This rule modernizes those requirements by amending HUD's regulations to better align with advances in electronic communication technology and mortgagor engagement preferences, while preserving consumer protections. Specifically, this rule revises HUD's in-person, face-to-face meeting requirements by permitting mortgagees to utilize methods of communication most likely to receive a response from the mortgagor, including remote communication methods, to meet with mortgagors who are in default on their mortgage payments. This rule also expands the meeting requirement to all mortgagors in default, including mortgagors who do not reside in the mortgaged property and those with a mortgaged property not within 200 miles of their mortgagee. This final rule adopts HUD's July 31, 2023, proposed rule with only minor, non- substantive revisions.
