WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) is reminding those impacted by Hurricane Sally and the West Coast Wildfires of available mortgage assistance and disaster relief options. Under Fannie Mae's guidelines for single-family mortgages impacted by a natural disaster:
Homeowners may request mortgage assistance by contacting their mortgage servicer following a disaster
Mortgage servicers are authorized to suspend or reduce a homeowner's mortgage payments for up to 90 days ? even without establishing contact ? if the servicer believes the homeowner was affected by the disaster
Homeowners affected by a disaster are often eligible to reduce or suspend their mortgage payments for up to 12 months
During this temporary payment break:
Homeowners will not incur late fees
Foreclosure and other legal proceedings are suspended
There are a number of options available to potentially help homeowners catch up on missed payments
In addition, homeowners currently on a COVID-19-related forbearance plan who are subsequently impacted by the storm or fires should contact their mortgage servicer to discuss options.
