As initially announced in Bulletin 2019-065, Ginnie Mae is planning for replacement of the Platinum Enhanced Pool Disclosure Files (platdaily.txt and platmon_YYYYMM.zip), Version 1.4. The enhanced Platinum Disclosure, Version 2.0 (see attached) will replace Version 1.4. Platinum Disclosure Version 2.0 will consist of two files: a Platinum Pool Security file (PPS) and a Platinum Supplemental (PS) file -- see the table below. The general file structure and format will be a “stratification format” drawing from the Enhanced Single Family Disclosure stratification format.
| Platinum New Issuance Data |
platdaily.txt |
platdailyPPS.txt
platdailyPS.txt |
| Platinum Monthly Data |
platmon_YYYYMM.zip |
platmonPPS_YYYYMM.zip
platmonPS_YYYYMM.zip |
Test Files: The first test files will be available on the Disclosure New Release Test File Download page in May, 2020. Full-size production test files will be available in July, 2020.
Implementation Date: Ginnie Mae has not set an implementation date for Platinum Pool Disclosure 2.0. There will be an "overlap" period where both the legacy files and the enhanced files will be available, after which the legacy files will be discontinued. The exact schedule for this will be published in a subsequent bulletin.
There will be no changes to the Platinum Collateral files (platdcoll.txt and platcoll_YYYYMM.zip) or to the HMBS Platinum files (hplatdaily.txt and hplatmon_YYYYMM.zip).
