Fannie Mae New Approved Mortgage Insurance Forms

Fannie Mae has just announced a change in their mortgage insurance forms. Any loan with mortgage insurance that is sold or securitized by Fannie Mae must be insured using one of the new approved forms. This will take effect on any loan application that was taken on or after March 1, 2020. Fannie Mae has stated that if an application taken after that time with mortgage insurance is insured under any previously approved form, it will not be eligible for delivery and will be subject to repurchase. There is an exception to this change. Loans that are refinanced into a High LTV Refinance loan may continue to be insured under the previously approved form. However, if a new mortgage insurance certificate is issued, then this exception does not apply.
