Veterans Administration Itemization of Lender Credits on Closing Disclosure
This is a reminder that the Veterans Administration published circular 26-16-11 in April of this year. This circular addresses the itemization of lender credits for unallowable fees. Per that circular, lender credits that are applied to unallowable fees must be itemized on the Closing Disclosure for all VA loans originated on or after June 1, 2016. The VA has indicated that lump sum lender credits listed on the Closing Disclosure, and itemized separate from the Closing Disclosure, do not satisfy this itemization requirement. Based on this guidance, all loans delivered to PennyMac must meet all VA guidelines and requirements to be eligible for purchase, including this lender credit itemization requirement.

Seller Closing Disclosure
PennyMac would like to remind its Partners that we require the Seller Closing Disclosure to be provided in the loan delivery package, in order to follow applicable regulatory and agency requirements. For example, per Fannie Mae A2-5.1-02, "If there are separate Closing Disclosures for the borrower and seller, the lender must retain copies of each in the mortgage loan file."
