The USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program announced on August 30, 2022 the introduction of New Forms RD 3555-11, RD 3555-17, RD 3555-18, and RD 3555-21.

Per the USDA SFHG announcement:

“The following updated forms will be available with a new revision date of August 2022.

- - Form RD 3555-21, ***Request for Single Family Housing Loan Guarantee*** and Form RD 3555-17, ***Loan Note Guarantee*** have been revised to allow up to five borrowers, to be consistent with the data in the Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS).
    - Form RD 3555-18, ***Conditional Commitment for Single Family Housing Loan*** ***Guarantee*** has been revised to allow up to five borrowers and remove reference to the “*attached **Lender Certification***” and the lender is directed to electronically execute all loan closings in the Lender Loan Closing (LLC) system. The Lender Certification page was retained but has been relocated to the last page, as an optional form, to be used only when the LLC is officially unavailable.
    - Form RD 3555-11, ***Lender Record Change*** has been revised to remove the social security number and protect the borrower’s PII and data redundancy.
    - All loans submitted on or after November 30th, must include the newly revised form RD 3555-21 with the August 2022 revision date.”
