    section: HUD ML 2024-17 — Optional Interim Exception for Nonjudicial Foreclosures (b) Standard
    description: |
      Where [LENDER] elects to use this optional interim procedure to request
      release of a subordinate Secretary-held lien following a nonjudicial
      foreclosure sale, [LENDER] may only do so where (i) the nonjudicial
      foreclosure sale resulted in no Surplus Funds and (ii) nonjudicial is
      the Preferred Method of Foreclosure for the state. If the Property is
      subject to federal non-Secretary-held liens, [LENDER] must comply with
      applicable law for those federal liens, including proceeding with a
      judicial foreclosure if required.
    type: do
    audit_question: For every request [LENDER] submitted under ML 2024-17's optional interim procedure to release a subordinate Secretary-held lien, can [LENDER] evidence (i) that the nonjudicial foreclosure sale produced no Surplus Funds, (ii) that nonjudicial was the state's Preferred Method of Foreclosure, and (iii) that compliance with applicable law was maintained for any federal non-Secretary-held liens?
    program_review: Does the program account for the optional-SIP conditions — using the procedure to release a subordinate Secretary-held lien only where the nonjudicial sale produced no Surplus Funds and nonjudicial is the state's Preferred Method of Foreclosure, with applicable-law compliance maintained for any federal non-Secretary-held liens?
    file_review: Spot-check SIP-release requests; confirm no Surplus Funds, nonjudicial as the state's Preferred Method, and applicable-law compliance for any federal non-Secretary-held liens.

    section: HUD ML 2024-17 — Optional Interim Exception (c) Required Documentation
    description: |
      Where [LENDER] uses the ML 2024-17 optional interim procedure to request
      release of a subordinate Secretary-held lien, [LENDER] must retain
      documentation of the information submitted to HUD through SIP in the
      claim file for the affected Mortgage.
    type: do
    audit_question: For every Mortgage where [LENDER] requested release of a subordinate Secretary-held lien via SIP under ML 2024-17, can [LENDER] produce from the claim file documentation of the information submitted to HUD through SIP (FHA Case Number, sale date, bid amounts, foreclosure attorney details, winning bidder type, method of foreclosure, no-Surplus-Funds certification)?
    program_review: Do the P&Ps ensure the information submitted to HUD through SIP is retained in the claim file (case number, sale date, bid amounts, foreclosure-attorney details, winning-bidder type, foreclosure method, no-Surplus-Funds certification)?
    file_review: Pull SIP-release files; confirm the claim file contains the documentation of the information submitted to HUD through SIP.

Operationalizing HUD Mortgagee Letter 2024-17

This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
