Obama Loan Modification Compensation - How Much Can Your Family Receive? - Part 6 of 10

The Obama Loan Modification or Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan includes Billions of dollars in help for homeowners. Make sure you are aware how your family could benefit.

Compensation of the Servicer: Servicers' that perform either modification actions or loss mitigation will be compensated. As soon as modification begins, right after the Trial Period and after the Plan servicer agreement is properly signed, $1,000 will be paid to the servicer as an incentive per eligible modification that also meets the guidelines for Domestic Economical Modification.

Success Payments will also be received by the Servicer-able to be paid 12 months from the start of the Trial Period contingent on the debtors remaining in the Plan-of $1,000 a year ending after 3 years. No longer will servicers get success Payments for Re-defaulting Loans or loans subject to specific de minimis constraints (discussed below) that have been paid off.

The servicer will get a $500 current Debtor One-Time incentive after the Trial Period is completed successfully.

The word "servicer" refers to the party actually doing the modification, so lenders servicing their own loans can receive these incentives.

Homeowner Belief refinances will produce similar benefits.

Debtor Cash Contribution: The investor must not mandate that the debtor give cash.

Compensation of the Lender/Investor: Only when the Front-End Target DTI or lower is reached will the lender/investors be paid lenders investigators will be required to adhere to the standards water fall in order to reach a payment to satisfy the Front-End DTI. The Treasury will pay 50% of the payment per month of a 38% Front end DTI or the debtor's current monthly payments. Lender/investors will be paid until either the loan is paid off or at the end of 5 years. After the modifications begin, after the Trial Period has been completed successfully by a debtor current before the beginning of the trial period, leader/investors will be given $1,500 in current debtor one-time incentive which will be subject to specific de minims limits during the trial period the leader/investor will get no monthly payment but the payments will begin after the servicer has signed a service agreement until the treasury, formal modifications start, and the trial period has been completed successfully. Payment will not be made if the trial period ends unsuccessfully.

Compensation of the Debtor Debtors can get up to $1,000 per year in Pay-for-Performance Success Payments until 5 years, also subject to specific de minimis constraints, based upon the payment of monthly fees on time. As long as the debtor is not expelled from the Plan, the first yearly reduction of principal will go into effect 12 months after being accepted into the Trial Period. The debtor must be on time with their mortgage payment in order to collect the monthly Pay-for-Performance Success Payments. Every month the debtor will get information about the payments and how much they have accrued.

Payments will be given to the servicer, who will use the entirety of the money to lower the monthly payment amount (no more than $1,000) for 5 years contingent on the debtor remaining in the Plan. When the Trial Period has been completed successfully, as long as the servicer has signed an agreement with the Treasury, will receive 3 months of Pay-for-Performance Success Payments.

Debtors who have been expelled from the Plan will no longer be able to collect outstanding accruals.

De Minimis Constraint: For debtors and servicers to qualify for Pay-for-performance Success Payments, a minimum of a 6% reduction must be made by the modification. The monthly payment is defined as the PITIA payment used to define DTI, with a fully-amortized, fully-indexed loan.

When paid, both the servicer's yearly Pay-For-Performance Success Payments and the Pay-For-Performance Success Payments of the debtor will be either (i)$1,000 or (ii)1/2 of the reduction of what the debtor pays per month per year, whichever is the least.

The Upfront Servicer Incentive Payment, the Home Price Depreciation Reserve Payment, and the Payment Reduction cost share are not affected by the de minimis constraint.
