Loan Guaranty Service is
developing an initiative to modernize its supplemental servicing
and claims payment functions. As a byproduct of the delegated
authority and electronic reporting directed by this initiative, the
paperwork burden will be dramatically reduced for servicers who
serve the 2.1 million VA-guaranteed home loans. This initiative
will change the reporting of delinquent loans and submission of
claims from a paper-based system to a completely electronic system,
allow servicers to take many actions that previously would have
required filling out OMB-approved forms for VA approval, and
eliminate reporting to VA of certain events.
