Self-service portals fielded at least half of coronavirus-related forbearance-plan requests and made it possible to handle an influx at a challenging time, but the GSEs recommend circling back to borrowers.

Coronavirus-related mortgages in forbearance grew 10 basis points between May 18 and May 24, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Steps have been taken to manage coronavirus-related liquidity risks to the housing finance system, but some remain, according to Mortgage Bankers Association President and CEO Robert Broeksmit.

Aggregate numbers for coronavirus-related payment suspensions are showing more consistency as organizations clarify how they handle them, and some consumers' incentives to use them may be declining.

Coronavirus-related mortgages in forbearance grew 20 basis points between May 11 and May 17, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Total forbearance driven by the coronavirus rose by 25 basis points, which suggests it is still growing but at a slowing pace, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Ginnie Mae is offering temporary relief related to its acceptable delinquency-rate threshold in response to issuers' need to fulfill the forbearance requirements in the coronavirus rescue package.

The number of mortgages in coronavirus-related forbearance rose by 37 basis points as the unemployment rate soared, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

The total coronavirus-related mortgages in forbearance grew by 55 basis points, in lockstep with rising unemployment claims, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

The number of loans in forbearance increased by a full percentage point over the past week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
