Radian Introduction
Default and
ClaimsServicing
Guide
This guide is intended to help loan servicers meet Radian's requirements for servicing delinquent
or defaulted loans with Radian mortgage insurance coverage.
The Guide outlines Radians practices, requirements and procedures in detail, and includes a
review of:
Loss mitigation options and corresponding delegated authority;
Factors which impact and influence the claims process, as well as the details necessary
to navigate this process.
In addition to the information in this Guide, please consult Radians Master Policy and any
endorsements or Radians Pool Policy as applicable, to identify specific terms and limiting conditions
under which Radian mortgage insurance is issued. These documents provide additional details
regarding the insured lenders and Radians respective rights and responsibilities.
This Guide is reviewed and updated on a regular basis. In the event a policy or process change is
implemented prior to the next scheduled Guide revision, the details will be posted on our website at
www.radian.biz.
Effective:
August 2014
5 Default and Claims Servicing Guide | Introduction

Radian 1 Servicing Standards
Default and
ClaimsServicing
Guide
Radian mortgage insurance is issued under the terms and conditions of Radians Master Policy. This
Policy specifically requires that those responsible for servicing mortgage loans adhere to the highest
standard of servicing performance. The following guidance is intended to ensure Radians servicing
performance expectations are met.
A. Highest Standard of Servicing Performance

Radian defines the term Highest Standard of Servicing Performance as:
Utilizing industry best practices. Implementing and maintaining proven processes and
procedures used to minimize losses and maximize opportunities for a borrower to retain
theirhome.
Adherence to applicable requirements of the Federal Housing Finance Authoritys Servicing
Alignment Initiative, as they become effective.
Adherence to all rules and regulations specific to mortgage loan servicing imposed by the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Implied and expressed within, is the servicer obligation to:
comply with the terms and requirements of the applicable Purchase and Sale, Master Servicer,
Servicer or Sub-Servicer contracts (Lender Contract) under which loan servicing is performed;
and
comply with the terms and requirements of applicable government/servicer agreements
suchas, but not limited to, the AG Settlement and resulting legislation.
Radians servicing performance expectations align with those established by GSE published
requirements and/or government mandates. In the event Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac requirements
differ, applicable GSE guidelines apply. Mortgage loans not purchased or securitized by either
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, may follow the requirements of either GSE, so long as they are
consistently followed. GSE published servicing policy is readily available and is incorporated
herein by reference without duplicating information. However GSE policy highlights are provided
for subject matter reference.

6 Default and Claims Servicing Guide | Servicing Standards

Radian 2 Default Servicing
Default and
ClaimsServicing
Guide
The efficient and successful servicing of a delinquent loan may minimize the potential loss resulting
from a borrower default.
Claim eligibility is contingent upon existence of the following controls/procedures and execution of the
following tasks in compliance with the Master Policy, GSE guidelines and certain timeline requirements.
A. Default Servicing
A servicer must employ a well-documented control system for those areas that represent the
greatest risk exposure and potential for losses. A servicer must establish a system, compliant both
with their own internal requirements and applicable GSE requirements, for successfully servicing
delinquent mortgage loans:
1. Confidentiality of Radian Practices and Procedures
It is not appropriate to disclose to any uninsured third-party the conditions under which Radian
is willing to waive any rights established under the Master Policy and/or to accept a claim via
the approval of a requested workout. The borrower, real estate agent, borrowers attorney and
other uninsured third parties are not to be provided with communications between Radian and
its insured or the servicer representing the insured. Radians feedback and communications are
confidential and meant for the servicer and/or the insured only.
2. Communication with the Borrower
Direct and relevant communication with the borrower is identified within the industry as a
bestpractice for servicing delinquent mortgages. The servicers ability to manage the call
andinfluence borrower payment behavior after right party contact is critical.
3. Delinquency Prevention and Management
Radian supports all reasonable delinquency prevention and management efforts which help
toavoid or cure a delinquency as quickly as possible. These practices should align with those
identified by Radian as providing Highest Standard of Servicing.
Link to Highest Standard of Servicing Performance
4. Collection Procedures
The servicer is expected to follow all applicable collection procedures allowed by law and
required to meet Highest Standards of Servicing to bring delinquent mortgage loans current
asquickly as possible. Collection procedures are specific to each stage of delinquency and
Radian supports servicer collection practices that maximizes re-performance of all defaulted
loans and at a minimum align with what is detailed within the GSE servicing guide.
5. Bankruptcy Proceedings
In the event a borrower files for protection under bankruptcy, the servicer must take all actions
necessary to protect the security investment over the course of the bankruptcy proceedings.
In accordance with the GSE requirements, the servicer must report the initiation of bankruptcy
proceedings to Radian, even if the mortgage loan is not delinquent.

7 Default and Claims Servicing Guide | Default Servicing

Radian Bankruptcy Management Process
Default and A servicer must have GSE compliant procedures in place to manage bankruptcies, including a
ClaimsServicing system to control and monitor bankruptcy proceedings. A servicer must document all required
Guide actions were taken to manage a specific bankruptcy in a timely and appropriate manner.
6. Foreclosure Proceedings
In the event loan retention or other liquidation workout options are not appropriate, Radian
expects that foreclosure proceedings be initiated in accordance with the requirements of the
Master Policy. Failure to commence appropriate proceedings in a timely manner may result
ina reduction or denial of claim or cancellation of coverage.
a. Foreclosure Overview
The servicer shall pursue foreclosure proceedings in accordance with appropriate state
laws and GSE guidelines through completion. If the borrower contests the foreclosure or
files suit, Radian must be notified on the Monthly Delinquency Report (MDR).
b. Foreclosure Expectations
Radian expects a timely referral after a borrower defaults, as well as a sustained and
reasonable effort to complete the foreclosure according to state requirements.
The servicer must notify Radian of any extenuating circumstances beyond the
insured/servicers control which prevents a foreclosure action from being completed
within the required time frame as described in the Fannie Mae Compensatory Fees
Allowable Delays guide exhibit (https://www.fanniemae.com/content/
guide_exhibit/foreclosure-timeframes-compensatory-fees-allowable-delays.pdf).
Failure to complete a foreclosure action within these time frames may result in a
curtailment of claim.
c. Foreclosure Mitigation
Foreclosure alternatives should still be considered throughout the entire process. If
appropriate, Radian will authorize postponement or cancellation of foreclosure sales
tomitigate losses. Radian is flexible in the time frames for completion of the foreclosure
proceedings, provided the servicer pursues sustained loss mitigation efforts and
documents how these efforts resulted in the foreclosure delay. If reasonable loss mitigation
efforts and proper documentation are notprovided, Radian will enforce the provisions of the
Master Policy which may result ina curtailment or denial of a claim.
d. Foreclosure Documentation
Radian may request copies of all foreclosure documents, including the pre-foreclosure
title search, foreclosure deed (which need not reflect recordation as long as the deed
iscomplete in every aspect, including signed by a representative of the lien holder,
attorney or officer of the company, and notarized), foreclosure complaints, and other
notices and decrees. Radian may also request information on whether the foreclosure
was judicial or non-judicial and the names of all parties involved in the foreclosure.
Foreclosure sales results are to be sent to Radian at claimsdocumentrequest@radian.biz.
The servicer is encouraged to provide evidence of the foreclosure as soon after the sale
as possible. Foreclosure sales results must include the Radian certificate number, bid
amount, foreclosure sale date, and the successful bidder.
Effective:
August 2014

Radian e. Preservation of the Right to Pursue the Foreclosure Deficiency
Default and Upon payment of a claim, Radian may subrogate to the insured lenders right to pursue
ClaimsServicing the borrower for reimbursement of its loss. Provided applicable state law allows recovery
Guide and the cost and time needed to do so is reasonable, the servicer must instruct its
foreclosure attorney to preserve the right to pursue a deficiency.
f. Foreclosure Bid Price
For Radian-insured loans owned by Fannie Mae, please follow Fannie Maes foreclosure
bidding instructions outlined in Fannie Mae Servicing Notice, April 17, 2013
(https://www.fanniemae.com/content/announcement/ntce041713.pdf).
For all other loans, and unless specific foreclosure bidding instructions from Radian are
issued, the insured must bid in accordance with the following state guidelines:
a) In states which provide deficiency recovery rights, or if special circumstances warrant,Radian
may specify a bid outside of the state guidelines in order to preservedeficiency rights.
b) If the recommended bid per state guidelines is less than the uninsured loan amount,
theinsured may bid the uninsured loan amount. Failure to follow proper bidding
instructions may result in an adjustment or denial of claim.

Radian 4 Loss Mitigation
Default and
ClaimsServicing
Guide
A timely evaluation of foreclosure prevention alternatives is to occur once the servicer determines
adefault occurs or is imminent. Government mandates such as the AG Settlement must be followed
when applicable; otherwise, the servicer is to follow the established GSE workout hierarchy, which
details the preferred order of consideration for the use of special relief measures and foreclosure
prevention options. This includes obtaining relevant borrower personal and financial information to
determine if a retention or liquidation workout is appropriate. The servicer must exhaust all retention
workout options before pursuing a liquidation workout. The following structure represents Radians
preferred hierarchy for Loss Mitigation, which aligns with the GSE hierarchy with the exception of
aClaim Advance and Charge Off:
Retention Workouts 1. Reinstatements

2. Repayment Plans
3. Forbearance Plans
4. Loan Modifications
5. Claim Advance (Second Look Program)
Liquidation Workouts 1. Short Sale (Pre-Foreclosure Sale)
2. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
3. Charge Off
4. Foreclosure Sale
Pre Foreclosure Loss Mitigation Methods and Strategies

It is the responsibility of the servicer to:
Perform a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the default and the results
ofprior servicing activities prior to commencing foreclosure proceeding.
Offer or encourage delinquent borrowers to seek free or low-cost consumer credit
counseling services.
Establish a business process to ensure that all cases are reviewed before referral to
foreclosure and that all reasonable steps have been diligently pursued to avoid the
needforreferral.
Comply with all federal, state and local laws (including statutes, regulations, ordinances,
administrative rules and orders and judicial rulings and opinions that have the effect of law)
that apply to any of its origination, selling, servicing or other business practices (including
theuse of technology) that may have a material effect on the results of servicing activities
including any applicable law that addresses fair housing and equal credit laws.
Comply with conflict of interest/confidentiality responsibilities.
To assist in these efforts, Radian extends to the servicer specific delegated authority to facilitate
theservicers execution of workout options which meet investor/insureds guidelines while providing
borrower assistance to resolve a default situation.

August 2014
12 Default and Claims Servicing Guide | Loss Mitigation

Radian A. Retention Activities
Default and The following activities, intended to reinstate the loan, are fully delegated to the servicer
ClaimsServicing unlessotherwise noted.
Guide
1. Reinstatements
The servicer should pursue the funds necessary to fully reinstate the loan after making
rightparty contact. This includes all past due amounts including P & I, late charges,
escrowadvances and default-related expenses.
2. Repayment Plans
For default situations where the borrower is not able to fully reinstate the loan, the servicer
may determine that the borrower has the ability to pay portions of the past due amounts over
time in addition to the contractual payment. A repayment plan may be an informal (verbal)
agreement or a formal, written plan.
3. Forbearance Plans
To resolve a default situation that involves a borrower who is temporarily unable to remit all
ora portion of the past due amounts during the hardship period, the servicer may offer
forbearance (suspension of payments due) with a subsequent repayment plan effective at a
specified date. Forbearance arrangements should be formal and agreed upon in writing by
the servicer and borrower.
4. Loan Modifications
Radian supports modification activities whenever the servicer has obtained hardship and
financial information sufficient to determine that the borrower wants to retain ownership of
theproperty and cannot afford the existing mortgage terms.
Radian extends to the servicer full delegated authority to complete a modification based
onthe conditions outlined in the Delegated Retention Workout table that follows.

In the event it is determined that acceptance of a claim is not appropriate, Radian
willeither decline the request or communicate a proposed claim payment adjustment
(reduction) along with the reason for the proposed adjustment and any other terms and
conditions. A proposed claim payment adjustment will vary on a case-by-case basis
relative to the facts surrounding the request. In the event Radian provides both primary
and modified pool coverage, the proposed adjustment will be based on the total
estimated loss to Radian under both coverages.
The servicer may, in its sole discretion:
Accept Radians proposed approval terms, obtain a formal Radian conditional approval
and proceed with the Short Sale transaction.
Attempt to offset the proposed claim payment adjustment via revised Short Sale approval
terms. Any offset shall not change Radians proposed adjustment amount. Examples of an
offset would be an increased required net proceeds amount or servicer required
borrower financial participation.
Use its judgment to require reasonable borrower financial participation for all or a
portion of the entire estimated loss (deficiency). The amount and type (cash and/or
promissory note) of borrower financial participation is determined by the servicer and
shall not change Radians proposed claim payment adjustment.

the proposed claim payment adjustment (examples include documentation that supports
the borrowers inability to pay all or a portion of the outstanding mortgage balance or
an interior property value that indicate the property has not suffered damages).

Radian 7 Perfecting a Claim
Default and
ClaimsServicing
Guide
Radian recommends that the servicer submit all documents needed to evaluate the claim prior to the
claim review process. Radian will review the information and request any additional documentation
needed to perfect the claim directly from the servicer. Radian provides two opportunities for sending
documents to Perfect a Claim.
1. Early Ask (Pre-Claim)

Voluntary and recommended, Early Ask provides servicers the advantage of Radian ordering
and reviewing the origination documents at the time the Foreclosure Sale is scheduled. As this
isprior to the claim filing, the time frame to Perfect a Claim will likely be reduced thus expediting
the overall claim review process. If the request for Origination documents is not satisfied during
the Early Ask phase, Radian will make additional requestsonce the Claim is filed.
To enroll in the Early Ask program, the servicer should contact their Client Advocate or
RiskManager.
2. Claim Submission
If the servicer does not participate in Radians Early Ask program, or documents have not
yetbeen received, in order to Perfect a Claim, Radian will order or follow up on missing
documentation. The three components of a perfected Claim are:
the Origination and Closing documents used in the original lending decision;
servicing documents verifying theloan was serviced appropriately; and
the Claim-Specific Documents and explanations to verify the claimableevent.
A. Documentation Request Associated with Perfecting a Claim
1. General Document Request

Radian will initiate the claim perfection process by requesting general loan information used
tobegin building the Comprehensive Document Request. Radian provides five (5) days after
receipt of the claim for the servicer to provide the appropriate documentation. After five (5)
days Radian will issue a General Document Request. Please note: servicers who have
provided general loan information during Early Ask, or the appropriate loan program
information (valid loan approval with conditions) within five (5) days of filing the claim may
skip this step.
The servicer will then have sixty (60) days to deliver the requested documentation, including
an essential valid loan approval that will allow Radian to determine the loan program, in order
to proceed to a Comprehensive Document Request. If the request remains incomplete, Radian
will issue a follow-up General Document Request twenty (20) days after the original General
Document Request. If the follow-up does not result in the submission of proper documents,
Radian will issue the Intent to Deny Letter to the servicer twenty (20) days after the follow-up.
Effective:
August 2014
26 Default and Claims Servicing Guide | Perfecting a Claim

Radian 2. Comprehensive Document Request
Default and Upon receipt of the loan program information and the Claim Servicing Detail (CSD), Claim
ClaimsServicing Servicing Checklist (CSC) or Non-Submission, Radian will construct the Comprehensive
Guide Document Request and will ask for specific and detailed outstanding required origination,
servicing and claim documentation. Radian will only ask for additional documentation when:
The servicer submits invalid documents.
An event change has occurred such as a pre-settlement sale of REO.
The servicer will have seventy five (75) days to deliver the requested documentation in its
entirety to Radian. Partial submissions are not sufficient to satisfy the timeline. If the request
remains incomplete, Radian will issue a follow-up Comprehensive Document Request twenty
five (25) days after the original Comprehensive Document Request. If the follow-up does not
resultin the submission of proper documents, Radian will issue the Intent to Deny Letter to
theservicer.
3. Final Comprehensive Document Request
Upon receipt and review of all documentation resulting from the Comprehensive Document
Request, Radian may issue a Final Comprehensive Document Request. At this stage the
Document Fulfillment Specialist will work with the servicer to obtain any outstanding documents
necessary to perfect a claim. A Final Comprehensive Document request is only issued if:
documents submitted by the servicer, as a result of the Comprehensive Document Request
are invalid; or
Radian has been notified or is aware of an event change.
Servicers will have thirty (30) days to deliver the requested documents to Radian. Failure
tosubmit critical documents within allowable time frames will result in a denial of a claim.

2. Servicing Documents
The servicer is required to document the actions taken to resolve a default situation or
minimizethe loss incurred as a result of default, ensuringservicer activities were reasonable
and consistent with industry standards for default servicing and in compliance with Radians
MasterPolicy.
Providing a clear understanding of the servicing actions taken by the servicer will eliminate
theneed for this information to be exchanged during an appeal of a curtailmentdecision.
Actions or lack of actions taken by the servicer will determine which documents will
berequested and what information will be reviewed.
Following Radians recommended course of action will result in a streamlined and efficient
Comprehensive Document Request, reducing the number of documents requestedand
accelerating the claim process.
Effective:
August 2014

Radian The required documentation may include, but is not limited to, the following:
Default and a. Serving notes from the last timely payment
ClaimsServicing b. Life of loan payment history
Guide c. Claim Servicing Detail (CSD)
d. Claim Servicing Checklist (CSC)
e. Request for Modification Affidavit (RMA), (complete Hardship package), if applicable
f. Request for Approval of Short Sale (RASS), if applicable
g. Short Sale Agreement (SSA), if applicable
Claim Servicing Detail (CSD) (Recommended)

Claims that are filed with the Claim Servicing Detail (CSD) contain relevant and exact
information allowing Radian to identify and specifically request only those documents
necessary to perfect theclaim. In addition, the CSD data submission facilitates the servicer
Performance Review by allowing the servicer to communicate details of relevant servicing
activity, ultimately reducing claim curtailments.
Link to CSD
Claim Servicing Checklist (CSC)

When servicers opt to not provide the CSD, the Claim Servicing Checklist (CSC) shouldbe
submitted when the claim is filed or as part of the General Document Request fulfillment
process. Utilization of the CSC will not afford servicers with maximum claim perfection. The
CSC provide sufficient information for Radian to tailor the Comprehensive Document Request
specific to the servicing activity, however, Radian will be unable to facilitate the servicer
Performance Review and these details will be extracted from servicing notes and payment
history which could lead to disputed curtailments later inthe claims process.
Link to CSC
Non-Submission of Claim Details Filing

When servicers fail to provide the CSD data or submit a CSC, Radian will issue a Comprehensive
Document Request identifying all servicing documents as required. This could require servicers
to provide unnecessary documents as Radian will be unable to identify the specific documents
necessary for claim perfection. Servicers will be responsible for notifying Radian when a
requested servicing document is not applicable. This course of action will generally delay the
claim perfection process and may result in a higher number of claim curtailments as relevant
details have not been provided by the servicer.
3. Claims-Specific Documentation and Information

isnotlimited to, the following:
a. Foreclosure Timeline

The most common types of Investigations performed upon Claim Perfection are:
1.) Origination Review (SIU)
2.) Servicing Performance Review (SPR)
3.) Short Sale Review (SSR)
As outlined in Condition 13 of the Master Policy, Radian may take up to one hundred twenty
(120) days after settlement due date to conduct a Claims investigation.
1 . Origination Review (SIU)

Radians review and investigation of the loan origination includes the following elements:
Reconfirmation of the borrowers information including phone number and address
providedon the 1003.
Verification of the borrowers income, assets, employment, occupancy and history
ofhousingpayments.
For stated income or reduced document Loans; determination of the stated incomes

Review of the collateral including a review of the original appraisal, a retroactive AVM,
BPO,field review and/or drive-by appraisal.
Review of any associated credit reports to determine the borrowers debts and obligations
atthe time of loan origination/closing.
Questioning of any discrepancies and/or red flags noted within the file documentation
whichshould have been addressed by the lender during the original underwriting process.
Review of underwriting decision to determine that loan adheres to published guidelines
fromthe time the loan was originated.
Review of closing documentation to determine the loan was closed as represented.
Radian may conduct an interview of the borrower, contact the borrowers employer to confirm
employment or income, review bankruptcy filings or other court documents available to the
public, and review any additional public information such as on websites, which may provide
information that is material to Radians investigation.
During the investigative review Radian will not:
Incent or otherwise encourage investigators to determine that a loan was ineligible
forcoverage.
Incent or otherwise encourage investigators to pressure the borrower to discuss the loan
iftheyare unwilling to do so.

31 Default and Claims Servicing Guide | Claims Investigation

Radian 2 . Servicing Performance Review (SPR)
Default and Radian requires servicers to adhere to the highest performance standards when servicing
ClaimsServicing Radian insured loans. The Servicing Performance Review evaluates the servicing history
Guide provided to Radian by the insured at the outset of the claim process for adherence to
thehighest performance standard ensuring that the loan was serviced in a timely and prudent
manner. Radians Servicing Performance Review validates and verifies that the following items
were conducted in a timely and prudent manner:
Compliance with the Quality Right Party Contact (QRPC) standards.
Servicer attempts to bring the loan current through collection efforts.
Breach letter was conveyed to the borrower.
Property inspection was ordered.
Efforts were made to mitigate loss through acceptable alternatives to foreclosure.
Servicer responses to borrower modification requests made through a submitted
modification package.
Foreclosure referral requested including the proper resumption of foreclosure activities
whenmodification efforts are unsuccessful.
Generally, if a required servicing activity is not documented it is deemed not to have occurred
and may result in a SPR Curtailment or denial of claim.
Link to Servicing Performance Review (SPR) Curtailment
3. Short Sale Review (SSR)

The purpose of Radians Short Sale Review is to review the conditions of claims resulting from
a Short Sale or Deed in Lieu (DIL). Radian reviews all Short Sale/DIL transactions to ensure
compliance with delegated agreements or Radians approval conditions for non-delegated
transactions. Radian reserves the right to deny or curtail a claim resulting from a Short Sale/DIL
transaction that does not comply with delegated guidelines, does not have Radian approval
(non-delegated), or does not meet the approval conditions set by Radian (non-delegated).
B. Results of Investigation
As a result of the investigation one of the following actions are taken:
The Claim proceeds to be processed for payment (may include a curtailment).
A Rescission is issued.
If the investigation reveals inaccuracies in the application for insurance, underwriter
negligence, or other deficiencies in the underwriting process, Radian may conclude that
rescission of coverage is warranted. An Intent to Rescind letter (ITR) is sent to the lender
providing a description of the facts supporting the decision.
The ITR will specify a period of time for an appeal prior to the rescission being finalized. If
Radian does not hear back in time a final Rescission letter will be issued along with a refund
of premiums.

Denial of Coverage due to policy violation.
Effective: Link to Dispute Resolution Policy Violation Denials
August 2014

Radian 1. Factors in Rescissions
Default and Radian does not shift the burden to the lender to prove absence of fraud. Missing
ClaimsServicing documentation, on its own, generally will not warrant rescission if the information is
Guide notdeemed material, and does not prevent Radian from assessing the overall risk that
wasinsured.
2. Legacy Factors Guidelines for Loans Originated before 2009

Below are the evaluation guidelines for legacy loans originated prior to 2009. This list is not
comprehensive and is for illustrative purposes. Many of these factors will not, on their own,
warrant rescission action. However, if multiple factors warranting rescission are also present,
Radian will take this layering of additional factors into account. If a lender rebuts Radians
decision with information within the variance threshold but outside the underwriting or
eligibility guidelines for the loan, the rescission decision will not be overturned if:
a. There is an inflated discrepancy in the appraised value by 20% of the amount stated in
theapplication for insurance.
b. The recalculated debt-to-income ratio is 5% above allowable guidelines or AUSfindings.
c. Undisclosed debt is 5% above allowable guidelines.
d. The amount of assets verified is short $500 for funds to close and/or $1,000 for
reservefunds.
e. Material misrepresentation of Verification of Deposit(s) is discovered. Visibly altered asset
documentation such as a bank statement will be considered negligence by the underwriter.
f. Radian determines that an owner occupied loan was never occupied by the borrower.

August 2014

ClaimsServicing
Guide
Radian has several options in calculating its liability; they include:
1. Percentage of Coverage Option
Radian may settle its Claim, subject to the Calculation of Claim Liability outlined below,
atthePercentage of Coverage Option displayed on the Certificate of Insurance.
2. Property Acquisition Access to the Property

Coverage Option. In this case, Radian will require access to the property to properly
assessthe collateral.
3. Pre-Settlement/Approved Sale
Primary Insurance
Prior to settlement of the Claim, any offer for sale of the insured property must be submitted
toRadians REO Administration Department. If the remaining loss after liquidation of the REO
asset is less than the Calculated Claim Payment under Radians Percentage of Coverage
Option, Radian will pay the remaining loss. Offer submissions can be emailed to:
reoprimaryapprovals@radian.biz.
A. Suspension of Claim Settlement
Radian will pay a primary coverage claim within sixty (60) days of claim perfection. If additional
requirements exist, the claim payment period will be suspended until the requirement is cured.
Reasons for suspension include:
1. Additional Documentation

disposition of the subject property is effected by an approved sale, Radian will suspend the
claim settlement period until such information is received subject to any conditions set forth in
Radians Master Policy of Insurance.
2. Access to the Property

If requested, Radian representatives must be allowed access to the property to determine the
property condition and value. If Radian seeks access to the property, the sixty (60) day period
will be suspended until access is made available.
3. SIU and Default Servicing Investigations

If the claim is chosen for a quality assurance compliance audit relating to loan origination
and/or default servicing, the timeline for payment of the claim shall be extended up to an
additional one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of perfection. However, Radian
makes every effort to render a claim decision within ninety (90) days of claim perfection.

B. Timing of Claim Settlement Under Structured Pool Policies

The insured should refer to the applicable policy for terms on claim settlement under structured
Pool Policies. Questions on status and terms may be directed to customercare@radian.biz.
C. Calculation of Claim Liability

ClaimsServicing the property, not to exceed two (2) years from the default date as per the Master Policy.
Guide

On Deed in Lieu (DIL), interest is capped to the date the DIL is executed plus sixty (60) days.
On Pool Policies and Influence Sales, interest is capped to date of sale of the property.
On Third Party Sales, interest is calculated to date of settlement on Third Party Sale; if
settlement date is not available, interest will be calculated on Foreclosure Sale.
Foreclosure/Delay Adjustments/Curtailments.
Rents received before and after foreclosure mitigate loss for all parties, and
thereforeshall be deducted from any Claim for Loss filed.
2. Payment of Claim/Explanation of Benefits (EOB)

Radian will issue payments for claims via check or electronic wire of funds. Payments
aremade on a predetermined monthly schedule and typically occur weekly.
Upon payment, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is made available on MI Online.
The EOB provides a categorized itemization of a claim payment. If the claim was filed
viaEDI260 or via Radians MI Online application, the EOB will be in a side-by-side
(Submitted vs. Authorized) format detailing the losses requested in the insureds claim,
compared to the amount for each loss authorized by Radian. Any claim curtailments
willbeitemized on the EOB.
If the policy includes a deferred premium, or if any premium is owed to Radian, including
premium on principal forgiveness or premium sent to servicers on over turned rescissions,
thefinal claim payment will be net of the outstanding deferred premium amount.
3. Return of Paid Claim Funds

If for any reason a property is reverted back to the homeowner after a claim has been paid
(invalid foreclosure, post-foreclosure loss mitigation), the servicer/insured is obligated toreturn
the claim funds to Radian in order for the coverage reinstatement process to begin.
4. Servicing Performance Review (SPR) Curtailment

Radian requires servicers to adhere to the highest performance standards when servicing
Radian insured loans.
Link to Highest Standard of Servicing
When a servicer fails to service a loan insured by Radian in a reasonable and prudent
manner and consistent with the Highest Standards of Servicing as required by the Master
Policy, Radian may adjust the loss to reflect the harm it has suffered in the form of increased
actual loss or increased risk of loss. Identified deviations from servicing best practices are
examined in order to determine whether they resulted in harm to Radian in the form of an
increased risk of loss or missed opportunity to mitigate loss. If it is determined that an identified
deficiency did not result in harm, it does not result in a curtailment.
Effective:
August 2014

Radian Only in those instances where Radian can reasonably calculate the amount by which the
Default and deficiency in servicing increased the Loss as calculated under the policy is it required to adjust
ClaimsServicing losses. In all other cases Radian has the contractual right to deny coverage for the entire loss.
Guide Rather than deny claims for which deficient servicing has been identified, but for which the
resultant loss cant be calculated with arithmetic certainty, Radian makes every effort to
accurately estimate the harm it has suffered in the form of increased liability exposure or
lossof opportunity to mitigate or abrogate loss. In some instances, however, deficiencies
maybe so egregious as to require denial of the entire claim. The deficiencies will be noted
onthe EOB.
Effective:
August 2014
