The VA Form 26-1802A, commonly known as the HUD/VA Addendum to the Uniform Residential Loan Application, serves as a pivotal tool for both veterans and lenders in securing home loan guarantees and insurance. This form is a critical part of the mortgage application process for those looking to obtain loans backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It gathers identifying information about the borrower, loan details, and property specifications, streamlining the overall application process. Sections of the form require straightforward entries, such as the loan amount, interest rate, and purpose of the loan, ensuring essential data is readily available for evaluation. Furthermore, the form emphasizes the importance of accurate information, as both the lender and borrower must certify the truthfulness of their entries. It also includes certifications made by the lender to promote accountability and adherence to federal guidelines, safeguarding both parties involved in the transaction. Obligations of the borrowers and their consent for verification of personal information play a crucial role in ensuring transparency and compliance with the regulations governing federally-backed loans. By understanding the major components of this form and its significance in the broader context of mortgage applications, veterans can better navigate the often complex landscape of home financing.

Part III - Notices to Borrowers

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 6 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless that collection displays a valid OMB control number can be located on the OMB Internet page at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Privacy Act Information: The information requested on the Uniform Residential Loan Application and this Addendum is authorized by 38 U.S.C.

3710 (if for DVA) and 12 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (if for HUD/FHA). The Debt Collection Act of 1982, Pub. Law 97-365, and HUD's Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, 42U.S.C. 3543, require persons applying for a federally insured or guaranteed loan to furnish his/her social security number (SSN). You must provide all the requested information, including your SSN. HUD and/or VA may conduct a computer match to verify the information you provide. HUD and/or VA may disclose certain information to Federal, State and local agencies when relevant to civil, criminal, or regulatory investigations and prosecutions. It will not otherwise be disclosed or released outside of HUD or VA, except as required and permitted by law. The information will be used to determine whether you qualify as a mortgagor. Any disclosure information outside VA or HUD/FHA will be made only as permitted by law. Failure to provide any of the requested information, including SSN, may result in disapproval of your loan application. This is notice to you as required by the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 that VA or HUD/FHA has a right of access to financial records held by financial institutions in connection with the consideration or administration of assistance to you. Financial records involving your transaction will be available to VA and HUD/FHA without further notice or authorization but will not be disclosed or released by this institution to another Government Agency or Department without your consent except as required or permitted by law. Caution. Delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and abuses of mortgage loans involving programs of the Federal Government can be costly and detrimental to your credit, now and in the future. The lender in this transaction, its agents and assigns as well as the Federal Government, its agencies, agents and assigns, are authorized to take any and all of the following actions in the event loan payments become delinquent on the mortgage loan described in the attached application: (1) Report your name and account information to a credit bureau; (2) Assess additional interest and penalty charges for the period of time that payment is not made; (3) Assess charges to cover additional administrative costs incurred by the Government to service your account; (4) Offset amounts owed to you under other Federal programs; (5) Refer your account to a private attorney, collection agency or mortgage servicing agency to collect the amount due, foreclose the mortgage, sell the property and seek judgment against you for any deficiency; (6) Refer your account to the Department of Justice for litigation in the courts; (7) If you are a current or retired Federal employee, take action to offset your salary, or civil service retirement benefits; (8) Refer your debt to the Internal Revenue Service for offset against any amount owed to you as an income tax refund; and (9) Report any resulting written off debt of yours to the Internal Revenue Service as your taxable income. All of these actions can and will be used to recover any debts owed when it is determined to be in the interest of the lender and/or the Federal Government to do so.

Part IV - Borrower Consent for Social Security Administration to Verify Social Security Number

I authorize the Social Security Administration to verify my Social Security number to the Mortgagee identified in this document and HUD/FHA, through a computer match conducted by HUD/FHA.

I understand that my consent allows no additional information from my Social Security records to be provided to the Mortgagee, and HUD/FHA and that verification of my Social Security number does not constitute confirmation of my identity. I also understand that my Social Security number may not be used for any other purpose than the one stated above, including resale or redisclosure to other parties. The only other redisclosure permitted by this authorization is for review purposes to ensure that HUD/FHA complies with SSA's consent requirements. I am the individual to whom the Social Security number was issued or that person's legal guardian. I declare and affirm under the penalty of perjury that the information contained herein is true and correct. I know that if I make any representation that I know is false to obtain information from Social Security records, I could be punished by a fine or imprisonment or both. This consent is valid for 180 days from the date signed, unless indicated otherwise by the individual(s) named in this loan application.

Read consent carefully. Review accuracy of social security number(s) and birth dates provided on this application.

IMPORTANT: If you are certifying that you are married for the purpose of VA benefits, your marriage must be recognized by the place where you and/ or your spouse resided at the time of marriage, or where you and/or your spouse resided when you filed your claim (or a later date when you become eligible for benefits) (38 U.S.C. § 103(c)). Additional guidance on when VA recognizes marriages is available at http://www.va.gov/opa/marriage/.

24.Applicable for Both VA & HUD. As a home loan borrower, you will be legally obligated to make the mortgage payments called for by your mortgage loan contract. The fact that you dispose of your property after the loan has been made will not relieve you of liability for making these payments. Payment of the loan in full is ordinarily the way liability on a mortgage note is ended. Some home buyers have the mistaken impression that if they sell their homes when they move to another locality, or dispose of it for any other reasons, they are no longer liable for the mortgage payments and that liability for these payments is solely that of the new owners. Even though the new owners may agree in writing to assume liability for your mortgage payments, this assumption agreement will not relieve you from liability to the holder of the note which you signed when you obtained the loan to buy the property. Unless you are able to sell the property to a buyer who is acceptable to VA or to HUD/FHA and who will assume the payment of your obligation to the lender, you will not be relieved from liability to repay any claim which VA or HUD/FHA may be required to pay your lender on account of default in your loan payments. The amount of any such claim payment will be a debt owed by you to the Federal Government. This debt will be the object of established collection procedures.

25.I, the Undersigned Borrower(s) Certify that:

(1)I have read and understand the foregoing concerning my liability on the loan and Part III Notices to Borrowers.

(2)Occupancy: HUD Only (CHECK APPLICABLE BOX)

(e.) The veteran is on active military duty and in his or her absence, I certify that a dependent child of the veteran occupies or will occupy the property securing this loan as their home.

Part I of the VA 26-1802A form asks for identifying information crucial for processing your loan application. You should provide the type of application, agency case number, lender case number, and the specific section of the act applicable to your situation. Additionally, you'll need to enter your name, current address, property address, proposed loan amount, interest rate, and other mortgage details. Accuracy is key, as this information will help determine your eligibility for the loan guaranty.

What certifications does the lender need to provide in Part II?

In Part II of the form, the lender or mortgagee must certify that the information provided is true, accurate, and complete. This includes confirming that the borrower’s application information was obtained correctly and that a credit report was ordered from a recognized credit agency. Lenders must also assure the VA that they have adequate knowledge regarding any agents involved in processing the loan and that all applicable regulations have been followed. The certifications serve to protect both the borrower and the lender by ensuring compliance with federal guidelines.

What is the significance of borrower certifications in Part V?

In Part V, the borrower provides crucial certifications to affirm their understanding and agreement to the terms of the loan. This section requires that borrowers acknowledge their liability concerning the mortgage payments, regardless of ownership changes in the property. Furthermore, it emphasizes that borrowers must intend to occupy the property as their primary residence. The certifications bind the borrower to the terms of the loan and reinforce their understanding of the potential consequences of defaulting on payments.

Common mistakes

When filling out the VA Form 26-1802A, applicants often make common mistakes that can lead to delays or complications in the loan process. One significant error is failing to provide complete identifying information. This includes the Borrower's name, address, and the Agency Case Number. Incomplete information can hinder the processing of the application.

Another frequent oversight occurs in the Loan Amount section. Borrowers sometimes forget to include the Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) for HUD loans or the VA Funding Fee for VA loans. Omitting this information may result in an incorrect loan amount being processed, which can affect eligibility and funding.

Many applicants do not read the instructions carefully, resulting in miscommunication about the loan purpose. The various loan purposes must be marked accurately, as incorrect selections can lead to misunderstandings with lenders regarding eligibility and loan type, affecting approval.

Sometimes, individuals neglect to verify the accuracy of the Interest Rate and proposed maturity. If these details are incorrect, it can mislead lenders and cause further delays in processing the loan. Accurate figures are crucial for aligning the expectations of all parties involved.

Failure to include the correct addresses for both the property and the borrower is another common mistake. Ensuring that the Property Address is complete, including subdivision and zip code, is essential. Missing or incorrect addresses can result in issues with title searches and property assessments.

In addition, many borrowers make errors in the Certifications section. It is vital that individuals understand and complete all certifications correctly. Failing to do so can invoke compliance issues later in the process, potentially jeopardizing the loan.

Some applicants may forget to indicate if the Loan is for a refinancing option or a new purchase. Mislabeling the type of loan can lead the application into an incorrect processing path, resulting in unnecessary delays or denials.

Another mistake arises from improper signatures and dates in the certifications section. Each required party must sign and date the form appropriately. Missing signatures can cause an application to be marked incomplete, requiring resubmission.

Lastly, individuals often overlook including their Social Security Number in the required sections. Providing this information is not just standard practice; it is necessary for loan processing and verification. Omitting the Social Security Number can lead to automatic disqualification from loan approval.
