Supplemental Consumer Information Form Requirement Reminder
As a reminder, at the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the GSEs) announced on May 3, 2022, that the Supplemental Consumer Information Form (SCIF Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae Form 1103) will be a required document in the loan file for new conventional loans sold to the GSEs with application dates on or after March 1, 2023. Any data provided on the SCIF must also be included in each GSE’s automated underwriting system (AUS) submission file.
The SCIF supports lenders in the collection of borrower preferred language, applicable homeownership education and housing counseling details. Each GSE’s respective Guide Bulletin/Lender Letter formalized the requirement and our Selling Guides have been updated accordingly.
To help the industry meet the SCIF mandate, Freddie Mac has published the following documents:
- SCIF
- SCIF Translated Versions
- SCIF Instructions
- SCIF Rendering Design Options
- SCIF Numbered Form
- SCIF FAQs included in a section of the URLA FAQs
- Loan Product Advisor v5.1 and v5.2 Request File Requirements with SCIF data requirements
