The information contained in the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Investor Reporting Manuals (“Reporting Manuals”) is based on Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”) program requirements as of September 2011, and conforms with guidelines in effect at that time as outlined in the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, Ginnie Mae 5500.3 (the “Guide”). The Guide is the primary source of information concerning both Ginnie Mae I and Ginnie Mae II pool administration. Ginnie Mae notifies Issuers of periodic changes in guidelines and requirements through All Participants Memoranda and changes to the Guide. We urge Issuers to consult these documents for definitive answers to questions about current program requirements. Both the Guide and All Participants Memoranda (“APM”) are available on Ginnie Mae’s Web site at http://www.ginniemae.gov. Those accessing this site can download entire copies or individual sections of the Guide.
An Issuer may also contact its assigned Account Executive in Ginnie Mae’s Office of Mortgage-Backed Securities, Single Family Division or Multifamily Division (as appropriate), or the Mortgage-Backed Securities Administration Agent (“MBSAA”) contractor for assistance.
This Reporting Manual is intended only as a supplemental instructional device to help clarify certain aspects of pool administration, not as an authoritative source. If there are any discrepancies between this Reporting Manual and the Guide, the Guide will be considered correct. The instructions contained herein are not a substitute for the Guide. The examples in this Reporting Manual are designed to illustrate specific points, not to serve as complete models for pool reporting.
