Loan Modification and Standard Waterfall
Overview:
Servicers will follow the Standard Waterfall described below to reduce monthly payments to the 31% Front-End DTI Target defined above. The initiative will reimburse lenders/investors for one half of the cost of reducing monthly payments from a level consistent with a 38% Front-End DTI Ratio (or less, if the unmodified DTI is less than 38%) down to a level consistent with a 31% Front-End DTI Ratio. This Payment Reduction Cost Share can last for up to five years.

Hope for Homeowners:
Servicers will be required to consider a borrower for refinancing into the Hope for Homeowners program when feasible. Servicer incentive payments will be paid for Hope for Homeowner refinances.
If the underwriting process for a Hope for Homeowners refinance would delay eligible borrowers from receiving a modification offer, servicers will use the Standard Waterfall to begin the Home Affordability Modification and work to complete the Hope for Homeowners refinance during the Trial Modification Period.
Consideration for a Hope for Homeowners refinance should not delay eligible borrowers from receiving a modification offer and beginning the Trial Modification Period.

Standard Waterfall Process:
Step 1a: Request Monthly Gross Income as specified above.
Step 1b: Validate total first lien debt and monthly payments (PITIA). For
purposes of making a provisional modification offer during the trial modification period, the borrower’s unverified income and debt payments can be used. Provisional information and modification terms will be verified in a timely manner.
Step 2: Capitalize arrearage. Servicers may capitalize accrued interest, past due real estate taxes and insurance premiums, delinquency charges paid to third parties in the ordinary course of servicing and not retained by the servicer, any required escrow advances already paid by the servicer and any required escrow advances by the servicer that are currently due and will be paid by the servicer during the Trial Period. Late fees are not capitalized.
Step 3: Target a Front-End DTI of 31%. The lender/investor shall follow steps 4, 5, and 6 to reduce the borrower’s payment to the level corresponding to the Front-End DTI Target.
Step 4: Reduce the interest rate to reach the Front-End DTI Target (subject to a floor of 2%). The note rate should be reduced in increments of 0.125 %, and should bring the monthly payment as close as possible to the Front-End DTI Target without going below 31%. If the resulting modified interest rate is at or above the Interest Rate Cap, this modified interest rate will be the new note rate for the remaining loan term. If the resulting modified interest rate is below the Interest Rate Cap, this modified interest rate will be in effect for the first five years, followed by annual increases of 1% (100 basis points) per year or such lesser amount as may be needed until the interest rate reaches the Interest Rate Cap, at which time it will be fixed for the remaining loan term.
Step 5: If the Front-End DTI Target has not been reached, extend the term of the loan up to 40 years. If term extension is not permitted extend amortization. The 40-year term begins at the start of the modification (after the borrower successfully completes the Trial Period). Note that the servicer should only extend to a term that is necessary to reach the Front-End DTI Target; there is no requirement to extend to a 40-year term.
Step 6: If the Front-End DTI Target has not been reached, forbear principal. If there is a principal forbearance amount, a balloon payment of that forbearance amount is due on the maturity date, upon sale of the property, or upon payoff of the interest bearing balance. If the modification does not pass the NPV Test and the servicer chooses to modify the loan, the modified balance must be no lower than the current property value.

Principal Reduction Option:
There is no requirement to use principal reduction under the Home Affordable Modification program; however, servicers may forgive principal to achieve the Front-End DTI Target.
Principal forgiveness can be used on a standalone basis or before any step in the Standard Waterfall process. If principal forgiveness is used, subsequent steps in the Standard Waterfall may not be skipped. If principal is forgiven and the rate is not reduced, the rate will be frozen at its existing level and treated as a modified rate for the purposes of the Interest Rate Cap.
In the event of principal forgiveness, the Payment Reduction Cost Share continues to be based on the change in the borrower’s monthly payment from 38% to 31% Front-End DTI ratio and is limited to five years.

Modification Terms
Interest Rate Floor:
The Interest Rate Floor for modified loans is 2%.

Interest Rate Cap:
The modified interest rate must remain in place for five years, after which time the interest rate will be gradually increased 1% (100 basis points) per year or such lesser amount as may be needed until it reaches the Interest Rate Cap.
The Interest Rate Cap for the modified loan is the lesser of (i) the fully indexed and fully amortizing original contractual rate or (ii) the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey rate for 30-year fixed rate conforming mortgage loans, rounded to the nearest 0.125%, as of the date that the modification document is prepared.
If the modified rate exceeds the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey rate in effect on the date the modification document is prepared, the modified rate will be the new note rate for the remaining loan term.

Principal Forbearance:
No interest will accrue on the forbearance amount.
If the option to forebear principal is selected, the servicer shall forbear on collecting the deferred portion of the Capitalized Balance until the earliest of (i) the maturity of the modified loan, (ii) a sale of the property, or (iii) a pay-off or refinancing of the loan.

Redefaulting Loans:
A loan will be considered to have redefaulted when the borrower reaches a 90-day delinquency status under the MBA delinquency calculation. Redefaulting Loans will be terminated from the program, and no further payments of any kind will be made to the lender/investor, servicer, or borrower. Redefaulting Loans should be considered for other loss mitigation programs prior to being referred to foreclosure.

Prior to the Obama Mortgage Plan, lending guidelines made it nearly impossible for struggling borrowers to access lower interest rates through refinancing and home mortgage loan modification was unheard of. The Obama Mortgage Plan has changed lender guidelines and provided incentives for lenders to refinance loans at low or no cost to borrowers. Homeowners  are encouraged to take advantage of the special refinance programs and home mortgage loan modification programs or other home loan modification plans offered under the  Obama Mortgage Plan.
