Abstract: Reverse mortgages are home-secured loans typically offered to elderly consumers. Financial institutions currently provide two types of reverse mortgage products: the lenders’ own proprietary reverse mortgage products and reverse mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Reverse mortgage loans insured by the FHA are made pursuant to the guidelines and rules established by HUD’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. HECM loans and proprietary reverse mortgages are also subject to consumer financial protection laws and regulations (e.g., the regulations that implement laws such as the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and the Truth in Lending Act (TILA)). In August 2010, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), on behalf of its member agencies, published a Federal Register notice adopting supervisory guidance titled “Reverse Mortgage Products: Guidance for Managing Compliance and Reputation Risks.” The guidance is designed to assist financial institutions with risk management and efforts to ensure that their reverse mortgage lending practices adequately address consumer compliance and reputation risks. The reverse mortgage guidance discusses the reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosures required by federal laws and regulations and also discusses consumer disclosures that financial institutions typically provide as a standard business practice. Certain portions of the guidance are information collections subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act’s (PRA) requirements.
