Ginnie Mae has implemented a significant policy change that has led to a spike in FHA delinquency numbers. In response, the agency announced it will pause counting FHA TPP loans as delinquent, a move aimed at alleviating concerns over rising delinquency rates.

This pause in delinquency rules comes amid a broader shift in the FHA waterfall, suggesting that Ginnie Mae is adapting its approach to better reflect the realities of the current housing finance landscape. Stakeholders in FHA financing are closely monitoring these developments.
