On May 1, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac filed their first quarter 10-Qs, which included statements clarifying that in the coming months Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, not loan servicers, will assume responsibility for advances on loans in forbearance that meet certain criteria. Fannie Mae’s 10-Q states that effective August 2020 “after four months of missed borrower payments on a loan…we will make the missed scheduled principal and interest payments…so long as the loan remains in the MBS trust.” As previously covered by InfoBytes, FHFA announced on April 21 that servicers are only obligated to advance principal and interest payments for up to four months on single-family loans. Likewise, Freddie Mac’s 10-Q similarly stated, “we expect to advance significant amounts to cover principal and interest payments to security holders for loans in forbearance in the coming months.”
