| Program | Benefit and cost checks | Timing checks |
|---|---|---|
| VA IRRRL | Rate reduction, monthly P&I savings and statutory fee recoupment. | First payment due date, new closing date and six consecutive payments. |
| VA Standard Refinance | Eight possible benefit paths, LTV and additional VA-to-VA Type I checks. | Type I uses the first payment due date. Type II uses the first payment actually made, when refinancing VA to VA. |
| FHA Streamline | Combined note and annual MIP rate, P&I plus MIP, and applicable term reduction rules. | Original closing, first payment due date, payments and new FHA case assignment. |
| Conventional & FHA standard | RefiNow and Refi Possible require 50 bps and a lower payment with MI. Standard options provide comparison only. | No recoupment limit is applied to these modes. |
