When funds provided by a mortgagor to a mortgagee are not fully disbursed with the initial advance of the insured mortgage proceeds, this final rule permits mortgagees to disburse up to 1 percent of the mortgage amount initially endorsed for insurance before requiring that the funds provided by the mortgagor be disbursed in full. This change to HUD's requirements removes unusual and burdensome mortgage servicing practices that may result from pooling mortgages into mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association prior to the funds provided by the mortgagor being disbursed in full. This final rule adopts HUD's August 6, 2024, proposed rule with only minor, non-substantive revisions.
