September 2014 1Processing USDA Loans in Encompass

Processing USDA Loans in EncompassEncompass provides a comprehensive set of forms and features for processing USDA loans:

USDA Management input form - After completing the Borrower Summary input form, Encompass users open the USDA Management input form, which provides a centralized location for entering and maintaining USDA-specific information and tracking the progress of USDA Rural Housing loans.

USDA output forms - Data that is entered on the USDA Management form is populated to the URLA output form and four additional output forms that have been added to Encompass to support USDA loans.

Support for USDA fees - Fields and features in Encompass quickly calculate and record the USDA Annual Fee and Guarantee Fee. The fees are calculated when the user enters data in the MIP/PMI/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool. The fees are populated to the appropriate forms in Encompass and flow through to additional calculations, for example for the Payment Schedule or escrow impounds.

Support for compliance testing for USDA loans - The Encompass Compliance Service includes features that capture information used in compliance testing for USDA loan. When a user runs a compliance test through the Encompass Compliance Service, the service recognizes the loan as a USDA loan and applies the appropriate criteria for compliance tests, including High Costs and other State Rules.

For a sample workflow demonstrating how to process USDA loans, refer to Appendix A: Processing USDA Loans Quick Reference Guide.

NOTE: If you originate a USDA loan before October 1, 2011, and then order closing documents on or after October 1, the loan data on these documents may not meet current USDA guidelines. To ensure that this type of USDA loan meets the guidelines that went into effect on October 1, 2011, open the loan file, and then open the REGZ-TIL input form. In the Mortgage Insurance section, click the Edit icon. When the MIP/PMI/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool opens, click OK, and then save the loan. When you click OK, all USDA loan data is recalculated according to current USDA guidelines.

USDA Management Input FormThe USDA Management input form provides a convenient, centralized location for entering data for and tacking the progress of USDA Rural Housing loans. The USDA Management form includes four tabs:

• Rural Assistance URLA

• Req for SFH Loan Guarantee/Resv. of Funds

• Loan Closing Report

• Tracking

Rural Assistance URLA TabUse the Rural Assistance URLA tab to input data that will be used to populate the 1003 output form for USDA loans. The form is typically completed after the Borrower Summary form. Click the links on the upper-right to navigate between pages within the tab. Use links within the form to create and update verification forms, and order and view credit reports.

TIP:To shortcut the entry of address information, type the zip code first. The City, State, and County fields will automatically be filled.

NOTE: The data field on the Rural Assistance URLA are the same as the fields used on the standard 1003. You can change the loan type to or from a USDA loan at any time without having to re-enter the data.

USDA Annual FeeAn entry for the USDA Annual Fee is located on line 1010 of the 2010 Itemization and 2010 HUD-1 Page 2 input forms. NOTE: The Aggregate Adjustment entry (field ID 558) now located on line 1011 was formerly located on line 1010 (in pre-6.8.0.7 versions of Encompass).

Fee CalculationThe USDA Annual Fee is calculated using the MIP/PMI/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool (accessed by clicking the mortgage insurance Edit icon on forms such as the Rural Assistance URLA, 1003, 2010 Itemization, REGZ-TIL, and Closing REGZ-TIL).

Based on the total loan amount (including any upfront guarantee fee financed in the loan), the initial fee for the first year of the loan will be determined and calculated based on the scheduled average Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) for the first year. Remaining years of the loan will also be calculated and charged on the scheduled average UPB, not the actual UPB.NOTE: Due to rounding in the calculation used to determine the monthly cost of the USDA Annual Fee (field NEWHUD.X1707), there may be a slight discrepancy between the amount that displays for the USDA Annual Fee (field HUD50) and the amount that results when the monthly cost is multiplied by 12. The Annual Fee (field HUD50) correctly reflects the total amount due for the USDA Annual Fee for the year.

To Calculate the Fee:1 Open a loan file, click the Forms tab on the lower-left, and then click

2010 Itemization.

2 On line 1010, click the Edit icon.

3 Enter any data as needed in the Loan Information, Financed Guarantee Fee or For Financing a Portion of the Guarantee Fee sections.

4 On line 1 in the Monthly Mortgage Insurance / USDA Annual Fee Premium section, type the rate for the annual fee payments in the % field, and then type the number of months the payments will be made in the Months field.

NOTE: The annual fee of 0.4 percent is applicable for all loan applications (purchase, new construction and refinance transactions) with a Conditional Commitment dated October 1, 2011 and thereafter. Though it appears similar, the USDA annual fee is not Mortgage Insurance. The annual fee does not cancel and cannot be removed at any time over the life of the loan.

5 If the borrower is scheduled to make an additional series of payments after the payments on line 1 have ended, use line 2 to enter the percentage rate and number of months for the additional payments.

6 Select the Calculate based on remaining balance check box to calculate payments based on an average of the remaining UPB taken every 12 months. This average is used to calculate the fee premiums listed in the payment schedule on the REGZ-TIL.

• The monthly cost of the USDA Annual Fee payment populates to line 1010 (field ID NEWHJUD.X1707) on the 2010 itemization input form.

Rolling the Fee into Other Forms and ToolsThe Annual Fee is rolled into fields and calculations on the following forms and tools:• The calculation for the aggregate analysis calculation has been updated to

include impounds for the Annual Fee in the Aggregate Adjustment entry.

• The calculated value for the Annual Fee is added to the Other category (field ID 234) for monthly expenses on forms such as the Rural Assistance URLA, 1003, and 2010 HUD-1.

• A column for the Annual Fee has been added to the Aggregate Setup tool to allow users to enter the Annual Fee in the escrow payments for the loan. A maximum of 2 months of cushion is allowed.

• The Annual Fee is included in the fees listed in the Funding Worksheet.

• The Annual Fee is included in the payment schedule on the RegZ TIL and Closing RegZ as an escrow item.

• The Annual Fee is included in the calculations for the proposed housing expenses (field 1730) on the Transmittal Summary.

• The Annual Fee is populated in the impound section on the Purchase Advice Form.

USDA Guarantee Fee The USDA Guarantee Fee is populated to line 819 on the 2010 Itemization and the 2010 HUD-1 Page 2 input forms. the fee is calculated when the MIP/Funding/Guarantee Fee percentage is entered on the MIP/PMI/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool. As an entry in the 800 section, line 819 flows through to Block 3 of the GFE, as required by federal regulations. For non-USDA loans, line 819 can be used for other purposes.NOTE: If you use loan templates, make sure that they do not populate other types of data to line 819.This ensures that the USDA Guarantee Fee for USDA loans is not overwritten by the template.

To Populate the Guarantee Fee:1 Open a loan that has USDA-RHS selected for the Loan Type (field ID 1172).

2 Click the Forms tab on the lower-left, click USDA Management, and then click the Rural Assistance URLA tab.

3 On page 1 of the Rural Assistance URLA tab, click the MIP/FF Edit icon.

5 Select a value from the Guarantee Fee Percentage drop-down list.

6 If the entire upfront guarantee fee will be financed, select the appropriate check box. The Guarantee Fee Amount (field 3561) and Total Loan Amount (field 3562) will be calculated based on the Guarantee Fee Percentage rate.

OR

If only a portion of the upfront guarantee fee will be financed, select the appropriate check box. The Amount of Guarantee Fee Financed (field ID 3563) Total Loan Amount (field ID 3565), and Guarantee Fee Amount (field ID 3564) fields are calculated based on the Guarantee Fee Percentage rate.

7 Complete the remaining fields to calculate the USDA Annual Fee Premium as required, and then click OK.

NOTE: The annual fee of 0.4 percent is applicable for all loan applications (purchase, new construction and refinance transactions) with a Conditional Commitment dated October 1, 2011 and thereafter. Though it appears similar, the USDA annual fee is not Mortgage Insurance. The annual fee does not cancel and cannot be removed at any time over the life of the loan.

How Loan Changes Affect the Guarantee Fee and MIPChanges made to a loan file can affect the USDA Guarantee Fee, the content in the MIP/PMI/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool, and related fields.• For a USDA Loan Type, if data has previously been entered in line 819 and a

percentage is entered in the MIP/Funding/Guarantee field on the MIP/Funding/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool, a confirmation message asks the user to confirm that the existing line 819 amount will be overwritten. If the user clicks Cancel, a percentage is not entered in the MIP/Funding/Guarantee field and the content in line 819 is not overwritten.

• For a USDA Loan Type, if a user makes a change to the 2010 Itemization that results in a recalculation of the Payment Schedule, a pop-up message notifies the user that line 819 will be overwritten.

• For any loan, if a user changes the Loan Type, a confirmation message asks the user to confirm that all fields in the Monthly Mortgage Insurance/USDA Annual Fee Premium section on the MIP/PMI/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool will be cleared. If the user clicks Cancel, the loan type is not changed and the fields listed below are not overwritten.

• The MIP/Funding/Guarantee field on the MIP/PMI/Guarantee Fee Calculation tool.
