Ginnie Mae outlines recovery planning requirements for issuers with over $50 billion
On May 20, Ginnie Mae released “APM 24-08: Mandatory Recovery Planning Requirements for Certain Issuers,” which outlined Ginnie Mae’s introduction of recovery planning requirements for issuers whose portfolios exceed $50 billion. Issuers will be required to submit recovery plans to Ginnie Mae no later than June 30, 2025. The submitted recovery plans must include, among other things, corporate structures (like organizational charts, locations, key personnel, etc.), information systems (detailed inventory mapping of management systems and processes), and recovery planning (which would meet the requirements of the Ginnie Mae Guaranty Agreement and included a plan to unwind its MBS portfolio in a timely and efficient manner). Covered issuers will be required to demonstrate their assessment of the risks that their organizational structure and business activities pose and that they have taken steps to mitigate such risks. Further, covered issuers must update their plans every two years or confirm their prior plans remain current. More details can be found within the two attachments: the Issuer Recovery Plan Requirements, and Chapter 3 of the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide.
