HUD has advanced the implementation date for updated loss mitigation program changes to October 1, 2025, demanding prompt action from servicers. The changes aim to protect the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund while preventing foreclosures, specifically addressing issues like loss mitigation churning among borrowers. The new criteria create a complex evaluation process, altering loss mitigation workflows with conditional logic to determine optimal payment options. Servicers need to adapt to these updates, which involve compliance with intricate eligibility standards and process changes.
The changes to the loss mitigation program aim to prevent foreclosures and protect taxpayers while mitigating financial risks to the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF).
These updates do not revert loss mitigation requirements to pre-pandemic standards, instead introducing a completely new set of requirements effective from Oct. 1, 2025.
Servicers are tasked with navigating a complex new landscape of loss mitigation options that includes conditional logic, impacting workflows significantly.
A major complication for servicers following the changes will be the need for careful evaluation of borrower and property eligibility criteria to determine loss mitigation options.
