Jul 29, 2014

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that it is extending the deadline for its Request for Input on the guarantee fees (g-fees) that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge lenders to Monday, Sept. 8, 2014. The previous deadline to submit input to the FHFA was Aug. 4, 2014. FHFA is extending the deadline for g-fee input to coincide with the deadline for FHFA's Request for Input on draft private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements, also due September 8, 2014. Input on each topic must be submitted separately. Input on g-fees must be received by September 8, 2014 and should be submitted to the Federal Housing Finance Agency via FHFA.gov.
