To accommodate for instances where there is more than one veteran borrower per loan package, the following fields have been renamed: Field 111186   Veteran 1 Alive and Well Evidence Date Field 111187   Veteran 1 Alive and Well Evidence Type and the following fields have been created: Field 189028   Veteran 2 Alive and Well Evidence Date Field 189029   Veteran 2 Alive and Well Evidence Type (Please note that ConformX currently only supports up to two Veterans per loan, and these Veterans must be entered as Borrower 1 and Borrower 2.) Cx16760 will also print when one or both of the following fields are ‘Yes’: Field 178   Borrower 1 Power of Attorney enabled Field 198   Borrower 2 Power of Attorney enabled These changes are available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on January 17, 2025. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584. *COM-5522 DR-166009* **UPDATE:** To ensure that Cx16760 only prints by default when both/either Borrower 1 and/or Borrower 2 is a Veteran with a Power of Attorney, the print configuration has been updated to include: Field 49935     Borrower 2 Veteran Status = Yes Previously, a section in Cx16760 always printed for Borrower 1 regardless of whether or not they had a Power of Attorney. To ensure that the correct content only prints for Veterans with a Power of Attorney, the following conditions must be met either: 1) individually for Borrower 1 or Borrower 2; or 2) together if both Borrower 1 and Borrower 2 are Veterans with Powers of Attorney: Field 49931     Borrower 1 Veteran Status = Yes Field 178         Borrower 1 Power of Attorney = Yes Field 49935     Borrower 2 Veteran Status = Yes Field 198         Borrower 2 Power of Attorney = Yes These changes are available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on July 18, 2025.
