    description: |
      Under both Ginnie Mae MBS Programs, [ISSUER] must pay security
      holders on time and in the full amount specified by the terms of
      the securities regardless of whether [ISSUER] receives mortgage
      payments on time or receives them at all. If pooled loans are
      delinquent or in foreclosure, [ISSUER] must use its own funds to
      insure that security holders receive principal and interest when due.
    type: do
    audit_question: For every monthly remittance under both Ginnie Mae MBS Programs, can [ISSUER] evidence that security holders received their full and timely scheduled payment regardless of whether mortgage payments on the pooled loans were received, with [ISSUER]’s own funds covering any shortfall for delinquent or foreclosing loans?
    program_review: Does the program ensure security holders are paid on time and in full per the security terms regardless of whether mortgage payments are received, using Issuer funds to cover shortfalls on delinquent/foreclosing loans?
    file_review: For each monthly remittance, confirm security holders received full timely scheduled payment, with Issuer funds covering any shortfall.

      If the mortgagor does not make full and timely payment of amounts
      required to pay taxes and insurance premiums, [ISSUER] must advance
      its own funds to make the payments when due — either to the escrow
      custodial account or directly to the taxing authority or insurance
      company. If payment is made from the escrow custodial account,
      corporate funds sufficient to cover the amount of the payment must
      be placed in the escrow custodial account within one business day
      following the payment.
    type: do
    audit_question: For every pooled mortgage with a mortgagor shortfall on taxes or insurance, can [ISSUER] evidence (i) [ISSUER]-funded advance to pay taxes / insurance when due, and (ii) when escrow custodial account funds were used, corporate-fund replenishment within one business day following the payment?
    program_review: Does the program ensure that on a mortgagor T&I shortfall the Issuer advances its own funds to pay taxes/insurance when due, and where escrow-custodial funds were used, replenishes corporate funds within one business day of payment?
    file_review: For T&I shortfalls, confirm Issuer-funded advances paid taxes/insurance when due and, where escrow funds were used, corporate replenishment within one business day.
