My thanks to
Kim Hoffman of Academy Mortgage in Greenwood, Indiana for supplying this information on how the shutdown of the U.S.
federal government will impact home loans and mortgages for people across Central Indiana.
Kim says that a shutdown of only a few days will have little impact on individuals working through the loan and mortgage process in the Indianapolis area. However, a closure of more than a week is likely to affect operations for Academy and other mortgage providers.
She and I will offer further updates on that, should the government
shutdown stretch more than a week. -

The Federal Government shutdown may affect certain home loans in the short term.
Note: The biggest issue will be with the ordering of Tax Transcripts (4506-T) from the IRS. With IRS offices closed, this will impact all loan types.
FHA Loans: The approval process may be slowed due to limited FHA staff to respond to questions and complete reviews.
VA Loans: With the Department of Veterans Affairs
continuing to operate as normal, VA Loans will not be adversely impacted in any way.
USDA Loans: No new loans or guarantees will be made.
Internal Revenue Service: The IRS will not process any forms, including tax transcripts, which are required for loan closing.
Social Security Administration: The SSA will likely not be able to verify Social Security numbers, which is required for loan closing.
FEMA Flood Insurance: It is likely that mapping issues or amendments will be impacted.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: Fannie and Freddie will not be directly affected, except to the extent that they rely on verification and other functions of HUD, the IRS, and the SSA.
