VA home loan help for struggling veterans
What the bill does
This law gives the Department of Veterans Affairs new tools to help veterans who are behind on their VA-backed home loans. It creates a program where the VA can pay part of the loan to bring it current, and it requires lenders to offer a set sequence of loss mitigation options before foreclosing. The law also limits the VA's ability to buy the entire loan until those options are exhausted.
The stakes
Veterans with VA home loans who fall behind on payments could get more help to avoid foreclosure. The new partial claim program and mandatory loss mitigation steps aim to keep more veterans in their homes.
