# Announcement Concerning 2009- and 2018-versions of FNMA Form 1008/FHLMC Form 1077
Jun 8, 2020
Topics: [Document Updates](https://compliance.docutech.com/tag/document-updates)
Since FNMA and FHLMC [published](https://compliance.docutech.com/2018/12/05/compliance-news-updated-fnma-form-1008/) their latest version of FNMA Form 1008/FHLMC Form 1077, the mandatory usage date for this form (and the retirement of the previous, 2009-version of it) has been [postponed](https://compliance.docutech.com/2019/04/03/compliance-news-more-fnma-form-1008-changes-and-updated-second-home-rider/) once and then indefinitely [postponed](https://compliance.docutech.com/2019/10/09/compliance-news-fnma-indefinitely-postpones-form-1008-mandatory-effective-date/). Last week, FNMA [announced](https://compliance.docutech.com/2020/06/03/compliance-news-fnma-form-1008-usage-change-and-relaxed-late-charge-requirements/) that they would not be adopting a mandatory usage date for the new form and that lenders could use this form, or “a similar document in lieu of Form 1008” when manually underwriting loans.
We [created](https://compliance.docutech.com/2019/03/09/new-document-1008-uniform-underwriting-and-transmittal-summary-12-2018-cx22822/) a new (2018-version) of the Form 1008 in 2019 and [modified](https://compliance.docutech.com/2019/06/10/global-mapping-and-document-changes-redesigned-urla-and-uuts/) the print conditions of this form later in that same year, allowing it to be used starting June 15, 2019 (as permitted by the GSEs, which allowed lenders to use the form at their discretion starting December 4, 2018).
We anticipated that the 2009-version of Form 1008 would eventually be disallowed when usage of the 2018-version would become mandatory. However, based on the announcement in FNMA SEL-2020-03, it appears that the GSEs will accept **either** version of Form 1008, since: (i) it is not mandatory for the 2018-version to be used; and (ii) lenders can use a “similar document” for manually underwriting loans (and it’s hard to make an argument that the 2009-version is *not* a “similar document”).
As a result, we will continue to provide both versions for the foreseeable future, until (and if) the GSEs formally announce that lenders can no longer use the 2009-version. Any questions or concerns about this matter should be directed to Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
