VA Lenders Handbook M26-7, Chapter 9, Topic 8(c) states: “The lender must always verify that the Veteran is alive at the time of loan closing.”
When Cx16760 “Lender’s Certification of Veteran Alive at Time of Closing” was originally created, it only took into consideration instances where there was only one veteran borrower per loan package.
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.
