CFPB extends the 'GSE Patch'

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued a final rule to extend the Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) Patch until the (yet to be established) mandatory compliance date of a final rule amending the General Qualified Mortgage (QM) loan definition in Regulation Z. The GSE Patch was scheduled to expire on January 10, 2021. The Bureau is not amending the provision in Regulation Z stating that the GSE Patch will expire if the GSEs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) exit conservatorship.

The GSE Patch provides QM status to certain mortgage loans eligible for purchase or guarantee by either of the GSEs. GSE Patch loans are eligible for QM status even if the borrower's debt-to-income ratio exceeds 43 percent. The rule extending the GSE Patch will be effective 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register.

PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE UPDATE: This final rule was published at 85 FR 67938 on October 26, 2020. It will become effective December 28, 2020.
