Unemployment Program
Are you unemployed and having difficulty paying your mortgage? Have you been looking for employment but haven’t found it yet? Is your unemployment insurance not enough to pay your mortgage obligations? Then the Home Affordable Unemployment Program can help you either by suspending or reducing your mortgage payments for up to twelve months while you look for employment. The objective of this program is to facilitate the homeowners during the unemployment period and let them stand back to their feet by suspending the payments.
Overview of the Program
Home Affordable Unemployment Program (HUP) is a government sponsored program that provides relief to the unemployed homeowners for up to one year. HUP is a complementary program to the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) which allows certain homeowners to modify their mortgage. Under HUP a loan services must provide a forbearance period to qualified homeowners prior to evaluating them for HAMP. During the forbearance period, the borrower’s monthly mortgage payment is reduced or suspended.
How the Program Works?
A homeowner who is unemployed and requested assistance under the HAMP must be considered for Home Affordable Unemployment Program and if qualified must be given a plan before being considered for Home Affordable Modification Plan. If the borrower is approved for HUP, then payments should be reduced to no more than 31% of his or her monthly income, or suspended entirely for 12 or more months for the first mortgage. The payment reduction or suspension lasts until the end of the forbearance period or until the borrower finds a new job.
