Feature Enhancements in January 2020 Critical Patch

Ginnie Mae has revised its definition of High Balance loans based on the increase to conforming loan limits made by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Effective on or after January 1, 2020, a High Balance loan will be defined as a single-family forward mortgage loan with an original principal balance (minus the amount of any upfront mortgage insurance premium) that exceeds the conforming loan limits ($510,400 for the general conforming loan limits and $765,600 for the high-cost conforming loan limits).
