APPENDIX 6 

INTEREST ASSISTANCE 

In 1991, the Agency provided interest assistance to eligible borrowers to enhance their 

repayment ability. Beyond 1991, interest assistance was not offered in connection with a 

SFHGLP guarantee. A relatively small number of loans providing interest assistance are still 

active. For those lenders who have interest assistance guarantees in their portfolio, it is 

important to administer the remaining loans correctly. Section 1, Interest Assistance, provides 

instructions for conducting annual and interim reviews, calculating interest assistance, and 

paying the lender’s processing fee. Section 2 of this Appendix provides guidance on what 

triggers recapture and how it is calculated. 

SECTION 1: INTEREST ASSISTANCE 

AGREEMENTS 

The lender is responsible for conducting annual and interim reviews of household income 

to ensure that the household continues to be eligible to receive interest assistance, and that the 

amount of the assistance provided is correct. Form RD 3555-13, “Annual Interest Assistance 

Agreement,” is used to determine the amount of assistance for the coming year. The Agency’s 

Deputy Chief Financial Officer, St. Louis, Missouri generates to lenders on an annual basis a 

Notice of SFH Interest Assistance Expiring within 90 Days which provides lenders with a list of 

expiring interest assistance agreements within the ensuing 90 days. A copy of this notice is 

provided to the Agency office. The lender provides Form RD 3555-13 to the borrower, who fills 

out Section II, signs the form, attaches any required documentation, and returns it to the lender. 

When the borrower returns the form to the lender, the lender verifies sources and amounts and 

determines adjusted income. 

The lender then submits Form RD 3555-13 to the Agency for approval, and the Agency 

reviews the lender’s calculations. If any errors are found, the Agency will contact the lender and 

provide guidance on the necessary corrective actions. It is the lender’s responsibility to resolve 

any inconsistencies with the borrower. 

In the case of a transfer/assumption, approved by the Agency, in accordance with Chapter 

17 of this handbook, interest assistance may be granted to the transferor provided the eligibility 

criteria of this appendix are met and the transferor executes Form RD 3555-12, “Master Interest 

Assistance and Shared Equity Agreement with Promissory Note.” 
HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6

PROCESSING FEE 

The Agency will reimburse the lender in the amount of $40.00 for the cost of processing 

Form RD 3555-13 whether or not the agreement results in continued assistance. The Agency 

will pay the fee upon receipt of a valid agreement if: 

 A new agreement is made at the annual renewal date; 

 The borrower has a change in circumstances that requires a revision to the current 

agreement. However, a processing fee will not be paid when the revision to an 

existing agreement is required due to an error on the part of the lender or 

borrower; or 

 The borrower is eligible for but not presently on interest assistance and enters into 

a new Form RD 3555-13. 

ANNUAL AND INTERIM REVIEWS 

Annual Reviews 

The lender must review annually each borrower receiving interest assistance to 

determine whether the household is eligible to continue to receive interest assistance, and 

whether any adjustments need to be made. It is expected that borrower incomes will 

change from year to year. However, if the household’s income exceeds the previous 

year’s income by 20 percent or more, the lender must determine when the change in 

income occurred, and whether it resulted in an overpayment of interest assistance. If so, 

the lender must follow the procedures for collecting overpayment of interest assistance. 

Approximately 90 days before the expiration date of the borrower’s current interest 

assistance agreement the National Finance and Accounting Operation Center (NFAOC) 

will generate a notice to the lender to initiate the annual review process. The lender 

should complete the annual review in time for the new amount to be effective on the 

anniversary date of the borrower’s current agreement. If the annual review is not 

completed by the expiration date of the existing agreement, the renewal date will be 

either: 

 The expiration date of the previous agreement, if an Agency or lender error 

caused the delay; or 

 In all other cases the next payment due date after the renewal is approved. 
HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6

(03-09-16) SPECIAL PN 

The Review Period for Self-Employed Applicants 

For a self-employed applicant, the initial interest assistance agreement will run from the 

effective date to three months after the end of the applicant’s business fiscal year, but not more 

than a 12-month period. This will allow subsequent agreements to coincide with the applicant’s 

business fiscal year, with a three-month overlap, to provide sufficient time for the applicant to 

supply verification of the previous year’s income. 

The Review Period for Unemployed Applicants 

For an applicant receiving unemployment benefits, the agreement will be effective for the 

period during which the applicant will receive unemployment benefits, or, if the period is 

unknown, no longer than six months. The lender will establish the expiration date of the 

agreement. 

Interim Reviews 

Interim reviews are triggered when the lender becomes aware that an adult member of the 

household receiving interest assistance changes jobs or obtains employment, when the household 

composition changes, or when income increases by more than $100.00 per month. A borrower 

whose income decreases by $100 or more per month may report the change and ask the lender to 

determine whether the decrease qualifies the borrower for additional interest assistance. When 

the borrower provides new information, the lender must determine whether the change would 

grant at least $20 per month additional interest assistance. If so, the lender processes a new 

interest assistance agreement. The borrower’s next annual review is scheduled for 12 months 

after the effective date of the change in payments. 

DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTINUED INTEREST ASSISTANCE 

Lenders must determine whether any of the following conditions keep the borrower from 

qualifying for continued interest assistance: 

The borrower has ceased to occupy the property, unless the lender determines that the 

dwelling is uninhabitable or that the borrower may be absent temporarily from the property 

for reasons such as seasonal or migratory employment, military callings, or hospitalization; 

 The security property has been sold or title to the property has been transferred; 

 The borrower’s subsidized interest rate equals or exceeds the promissory note 

rate; or 

HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 4 of 17 

 The borrower qualifies for less than $20 per month interest assistance. 

If the borrower has ceased to occupy the property, or has sold or transferred title to the 

property, the lender must determine when the change occurred. If the borrower has received 

interest assistance since the change, the lender must notify the Agency that the borrower may 

have received an overpayment. The lender must also notify the borrower of the potential for 

repayment of the overpayment. 

CALCULATING INTEREST ASSISTANCE 

The household’s adjusted median income and whether the property is located in a highcost area are the key factors in determining the subsidized interest rate the borrower must pay. 

The amount of interest assistance granted will be the difference between the monthly installment 

due on the promissory note eligible for interest assistance and the amount the borrower would 

pay if the note were amortized at the rate corresponding to the borrower’s income range as 

follows: However, the borrower’s interest rate can never fall below the floor interest rate – the 

subsidized interest rate that was in place at loan closing. The interest rate to be paid by the 

borrower is determined as follows. Note that the interest rate will be either the rate described 

below or the note rate, whichever is less; in no case will the interest rate be less than 3 percent or 

less than the floor interest rate the borrower received at loan closing. 

Percentage of Median Income Interest Assistance 

When the Borrower’s income is: Borrower’s Floor Rate is: 

More Than: But Less Than: 

High Cost Area Floor 

Rate is: 

Non-High Cost Area 

Floor Rate is: 

55 percent 60 percent 3 percent 3 percent 

60 percent 65 percent 4 percent 3 percent 

65 percent 70 percent 5 percent 4 percent 

70 percent 75 percent 6 percent 5 percent 

75 percent 80 percent 7 percent 6 percent 

If the dollar amount of the payment to be made by the Agency falls below $20 per month, 

the borrower will no longer be eligible for interest assistance. 

PROCESSING ANNUAL INTEREST ASSISTANCE 

Upon review and approval of a lender’s submitted Form RD 3555-13, the Agency will access 

the system production environment (block mode) known as NITC. Choose Guaranteed Loan

HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 5 of 17 

(03-09-16) SPECIAL PN 

from the NITC menu. At the Guaranteed Loan MAIN MENU, select Loan Servicing Menu. 

Select UPDATE Interest Asst Agreement to renew or change the interest assistance. Select 

CANCEL Interest Asst Agreement to cancel the interest assistance. Select VIEW Interest 

Assistance for summary information regarding the interest assistance. 

The Agency will not receive a report that the agreement will be expiring. The Agency may 

monitor the agreements in their portfolio by pulling a GLS Report from the Single Family 

Housing Reports menu under “Lender Notice” submenu, followed by the selection of “GLSNT07

- Notice of SFH Interest Assistance expiring in 90 Days” report. 

The Agency may also monitor payment of interest assistance to borrowers, by processing a 

GLSBR01 – Borrower Register report from the Activity Register Reports submenu of the Single 

Family Housing Reports menu in GLS. The transaction code to enter at the search criteria for 

payments is transaction code “4055.” 

From the “GLS Loan View” screen, the Agency may confirm the eligibility or continued 

assistance of a borrower by viewing the “RH Information” section. The subsection “Interest 

Asst” will bear a code 1 (Eligible for Int Asst); 2 (Ineligible for Int Asst) or 3 (Eligible & 

Receiving Int Asst). The “Active Interest Asst” will be Yes (receiving) or No (not receiving). 

The Agency remains responsible for the timely submission of interest assistance renewal 

requests by lenders. Assistance with processing questions can be directed to NFAOC. 

RETURNING TO INTEREST ASSISTANCE 

Some borrowers who have received interest assistance experience increases in income 

such that they no longer qualify for interest assistance. Should such a household experience a 

decline in income later in the life of the loan, the borrower may be eligible to begin receiving 

interest assistance again. To qualify to receive assistance again, the loan must have been 

approved as a subsidized guaranteed loan on or after April 17, 1991, the borrower must have 

executed Form RD 3555-12 at loan closing, and must have an adjusted household income that is 

at or below the applicable low-income limit. 

INTEREST ASSISTANCE DURING LOAN LIQUIDATION 

If a borrower’s loan is accelerated, the interest assistance is not canceled. However, 

should the agreement expire during the liquidation process, it will not be renewed. If the lender 

HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 6 of 17 

stops its liquidation proceedings after the interest assistance agreement has expired, interest 

assistance can be reinstated, provided the borrower remains eligible for assistance. The lender 

must request reinstatement from the Agency approving office, which will then update the action 

in the Guaranteed Loan System. 

OVERPAYMENT OF INTEREST ASSISTANCE 

Requirements after an Overpayment 

Borrowers may receive more interest assistance then they were eligible for as a result 

of factors such as misreported household income, calculation errors, or failure on the part 

of the borrower to report income increases. The difference between the amount of 

interest assistance the borrower received and the amount that would have been received 

at the proper interest rate constitutes an overpayment. 

The lender must ensure that an arrangement for repayment of the overpayment 

amount are done through one of the approved methods and is put in place within 30 days 

after all appeal rights have been exhausted. If no arrangement has been made, the lender 

must accelerate the guaranteed loan. If a satisfactory repayment arrangement is made, 

the Agency will continue to honor the loan guarantee. 

Methods of Collecting Overpayments of Interest Assistance 

Borrowers who provided false information must repay the overpayment amount in a 

lump sum within 30 days after all appeal rights have been exhausted, or the loan will be 

accelerated. For all other borrowers, including borrowers who unintentionally provide 

inaccurate information, repayment can be made in the following ways. 

 Borrowers who can do so are encouraged to repay the overpayment amount in a 

lump sum. 

 If the borrower is eligible for further interest assistance and has not repaid the 

overpayment amount in a lump sum, the Agency will collect the overpayment 

amount over the course of the following 12 months by reducing the amount of its 

interest assistance payments by 1/12 of the overpayment amount each month as 

shown on Form RD 3555-13. 

HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 7 of 17 

(03-09-16) SPECIAL PN 

 Some borrowers who do not repay the overpayment amount in a lump sum may 

not be eligible for further interest assistance, or the amount of interest assistance 

may not be sufficient to cover the overpayment. In this case, the lender must 

negotiate a repayment schedule with the borrower in a way that will minimize the 

possibility that the repayment of the loan will suffer. The lender will collect 

monthly payments from the borrower and remit the payments to the Agency. 

Interest Assistance repayment will never take more than 12 months unless prior 

authorization is obtained by the State Director. 

 If the borrower is unwilling to cooperate and repay the interest assistance 

overpayment through interest assistance deductions or voluntary repayment, the 

Rural Development servicing official will obtain the advice of the State or 

National Office as appropriate. 

SECTION 2: INTEREST ASSISTANCE SHARED EQUITY 

 RECAPTURE REQUIREMENTS 

OVERVIEW 

Borrowers with interest assistance receive substantial amounts of subsidy over the course 

of the loan repayment period. At the time of loan closing, the borrower will have signed Form 

RD 3555-12which requires repayment of some or the entire subsidy when the borrower ceases to 

occupy the property or transfers title. The purpose of this policy is to provide borrowers with the 

opportunity to realize a benefit from increased equity in their properties, while requiring 

repayment of a portion of the assistance received if the borrower has realized value appreciation. 

TRIGGERING RECAPTURE 

General Rule 

Interest assistance subject to recapture must be repaid whenever the borrower ceases to 

occupy the property or transfers title. If the borrower is absent from the property temporarily for 

reasons such as seasonal or migratory employment, military duty, or hospitalization, recapture is 

not triggered. 

HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 8 of 17 

Exceptions 

When a loan is assumed in connection with a transfer, recapture will not be calculated or 

collected at that time. When the new borrower transfers title or ceases to occupy the property, all 

interest assistance subject to recapture from both before and after the assumption must be repaid. 

Generally, when a loan is foreclosed the Agency will not require the recapture of interest 

assistance. However, recapture is required if: 

 The property is sold at or prior to foreclosure for an amount exceeding the 

lender’s unpaid balance and costs of foreclosure; or 

 A junior lienholder takes over the lender’s loan. 

Lender Responsibilities 

The lender is responsible for collecting the amount of recapture due from the borrower. 

When recapture is triggered, the lender must notify the Agency and request information 

regarding the amount of interest assistance that could be subject to recapture. Agency staff will 

obtain the amount of interest assistance from the Guaranteed Loan System account records and 

the average interest rate paid from the Deputy Chief Financial Office in St. Louis, Missouri. The 

lender must then notify the borrower of the maximum potential recapture amount and offer the 

borrower an opportunity to provide the information needed to calculate a reduced amount. If an 

entity other than the Agency provides assistance to a borrower and requires recapture, collection 

of the Agency’s recapture amounts has priority over recapture by the other entity. 

The recapture amount is calculated based on a projected payoff date. If the actual payoff 

date is different than the date used to calculate the recapture amount, the borrower may be 

entitled to a refund, or may owe an additional amount. If the borrower is entitled to a refund, the 

Agency will provide the lender with the reimbursement. If the borrower owes an additional 

amount, the lender must collect the remaining funds and submit them to the Agency before 

releasing the security instruments. Security instruments must not be released until the Agency 

receives and verifies the recapture payment. 

SHARED EQUITY DETERMINATION - CALCULATING RECAPTURE 

Even though the Agency will calculate the recapture amount, it is important for lenders to 

understand the recapture calculation well enough to explain to borrowers, should they have 

questions. This paragraph describes each component of the recapture formula. At the end of this 

HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 9 of 17 

(03-09-16) SPECIAL PN 

appendix is a recapture worksheet that illustrates how the recapture amount is calculated and a 

case study that illustrates the recapture concepts discussed in this section. The lender will submit 

the final documentation requesting calculation of the recapture to the Agency. The Agency will 

utilize Form RD 3555-14 to calculate the recapture due the Agency. 

The amount of recapture the borrower must pay is the lesser of: 

 The total amount of interest assistance received over the life of the loan; or 

 The calculation of shared equity due Rural Development. Thus, if there is no 

value appreciation in the property, there will be no recapture amount due. 

CALCULATION OF VALUE APPRECIATION 

“Appreciation” generally means the difference between the value of the property when it 

was purchased and its current market value. “Value appreciation” for the purposes of recapture 

is calculated with a specific formula that accounts for the borrower’s mortgage debt and sales 

expenses related to the property, as well as equity. The formula for calculating value 

appreciation is: 

Current market value 

less the following: 

 Balance due prior lien holders; 

 Guaranteed mortgage balance owed by borrower; 

 Sales/refinancing costs; 

 Principal reduction; 

 Original equity; and 

 Capital improvement equity. 

equals Value Appreciation

HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 10 of 17 

The following paragraphs explain each element of the calculation of the distribution of 

funds. 

CURRENT MARKET VALUE 

Recapture must be based on the current value of the property, whether it is being sold or 

not. The amount of the recapture to be collected can only be reduced based on an accurate 

assessment of market value documented from one of the following sources: 

 A sales contract; 

 An appraisal conducted by a lender; 

 Another current appraisal that meets the Agency’s requirements if neither a sales 

contract nor a lender’s appraisal is available; 

 The amount of the insurance payoff, information from tax records, comparable 

sales, or a recent appraisal that represents an accurate indication of the value, if 

the property has been damaged or destroyed so that an appraisal is not a viable 

alternative for determining value; or 

 Agency appraisal, with prior approval of the State Director. 

A BPO is not acceptable documentation of market value for this purpose. 

BALANCE DUE TO PRIOR LIEN HOLDERS 

Deferred and past-due real estate taxes and assessments that are to be paid by the 

borrower without reimbursement by another party should be included in this figure. 

BALANCE OWED BY BORROWER 

With the exception of late fees, all amounts owed by the borrower that are being paid off, 

including principal and interest, protective advances, and unauthorized assistance, should be 

included. 

SALES/REFINANCING COSTS 

The costs involved in selling or refinancing the property can be deducted from the market 

value if they are not reimbursed from another source, such as an employer, and if they are 
HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 11 of 17 

(03-09-16) SPECIAL PN 

documented by a good faith estimate provided by the lender or closing agent. Such costs should 

be customary and typical for the type of transaction and include, but are not limited to the 

following: 

 Sales commission; 

 Advertising costs; 

 Recording fees; 

 Pro rata share of taxes; 

 Points based on the current interest rate; 

 Appraisal fees; 

 Transfer tax; 

 Deed preparation fee; and 

 Loan origination fee. 

In refinancing situations, only those expenses necessary to refinance the amount of the 

current guaranteed debt, plus recapture, are allowed. Estimated expenses may be used if Agency 

staff is confident that the estimates are accurate. Anticipated costs for future transactions are not 

permissible. 

PRINCIPAL REDUCTION 

This figure is based on the amount of principal reduction at the note rate on the account. 

ORIGINAL EQUITY 

Original equity includes any down payment made by the borrower and any difference 

between the original market value of the property and the amount of the original loan. Prepaid 

taxes and insurance are not considered original equity, nor are contributions toward closing 

costs. This amount can be found on Form RD 3555-12. 

Recapture amounts paid may be considered mortgage interest paid, which may be a 

deductible expense for the purposes of personal income taxes in the year paid. The borrower 

should be advised to seek the guidance of a tax counselor or the IRS regarding allowable tax 

deductions. 
HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 12 of 17 

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT CREDIT 

Capital improvements are additions that add to the value of the property above and 

beyond repairs that maintain the property in good condition. General maintenance to keep the 

property in good condition is not considered a capital improvement. Examples of activities that 

do not qualify as capital improvements include: yard maintenance, painting, wallpapering, floor 

coverings, roofing, siding, wells, septic systems, appliances, furnaces, or water heaters. 

Examples of capital improvements include: building a garage, constructing a den or playroom, or 

adding a deck, patio, pool, porch, fence, storm windows, sky lights, outside lighting, or 

landscaping. 

The value of a capital improvement can be determined by an appraiser based on the 

change in the property’s value attributable to the improvement. The cost of making the 

improvement should not be considered when making this assessment. A borrower who wishes 

to receive credit for capital improvements should specifically request the appraiser to provide 

this service. 

CALCULATION OF SHARED EQUITY DUE THE AGENCY 

If there is no value appreciation, there is no shared equity due the Agency. For 

guarantees who received interest assistance, the calculation of shared equity due the Agency is 

computed by considering the average interest rate factor (obtained from the Deputy Chief 

Financial Officer) applied to the following table to obtain the table factor. Multiply the table 

factor by the value appreciation less the percentage of original equity to determine amount. The 

amount due equals the lesser of the amount arrived at when utilizing the table factor calculation 

or the actual interest assistance received over the life of the loan. 

The Agency will process receipt of the shared equity payment on Form RD 451-2 as a 
HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 13 of 17 

(03-09-16) SPECIAL PN 

Miscellaneous Collection Code 35. Form RD 3555-87, “Shared Equity Payment” will be 

forwarded to NFAOC as notification of the payoff of recapture. 

The lender is responsible for requesting calculation of the shared equity due the Agency 

for any loan granted interest assistance during the term of the loan and prior to payment in full of 

unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and fees, if any.

INTEREST ASSISTANCE RECAPTURE CASE STUDY 

THE SITUATION 

John and Sharon Potter bought their home 10 years ago for $50,500. The home appraised 

for $50,500 but they only qualified for a loan of $50,000. They borrowed $50,000 through a 30 

year guaranteed loan and paid the remaining $500 of the purchase price and $1,000 for closing 

costs out of their savings. 

The Potters’ note rate is 7 percent, but they received interest assistance with a reduced 

interest rate of 4 percent for the first 5 years. Then John got a big promotion, at which point the 

Potters were no longer eligible for interest assistance. 

Last year, the Potters added a deck. The materials cost $1,250, but since they built it 

themselves, there were no labor costs. 

Sharon just got a great new job, and the family is selling the house and moving to a larger 

home. They are working with Big Bank to finance the new home. They are putting down 

$5,000, paying $1,000 in points, and are financing the rest of the closing costs. 

In preparation for selling the house, the Potters spent $3,000 on new wall-to-wall 

carpeting and installed a new high-efficiency water heater for $500. 

The Potters have found buyers for their house and have signed a sales contract for 

$65,000. They must pay $1,500 in sales costs, and must pay their current lender $42,988 to pay 

off their existing loan (exclusive of recapture). 

INPUTS FOR VALUE APPRECIATION CALCULATION 

 Current market value. The house is being sold in an arm's length transaction, 

the $65,000 sales contract price can be used as current market value. 

 Balance due to prior lien holders. There are no prior lien holders in this case. 

 Balance owed by borrower. The remaining loan balance due the lender is 

$42,988. 

 Non-reimbursable sales costs. The Potters are paying $1,500 in nonreimbursable sales costs to sell their home. 

 Principal reduction. The Potters’ principal reduction at the note rate was 

$7,012. 

 Original equity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount of 

the loan was $500 and represents 1% of the market value of the security at the 

time the loan was made to the Potters. 
HB-1-3555 

Appendix 6 

Page 16 of 17 

 Capital improvement credit. When the new buyer's appraiser appraised the 

property, the Potters asked if he would document the increased value attributable 

to the improvements they had made. They showed him their receipts for $1,250 

for the deck and described the labor they had put into it. However, the appraiser 

concluded that the deck only added $500 to the overall value of the home. 

They also provided receipts for the carpet ($3,000) and the water heater ($500) for 

a total of $3,500. However, since the carpet and water heater are not capital 

improvements, only the $500 value increase from the deck can be counted. 

INPUTS FOR RECAPTURE CALCULATION 

 Value appreciation. As Part I. of the Recapture Worksheet shows, the Potters’ 

value appreciation was $12,500. 

 Recapture factor from table. The Potters’ average interest rate was .50, derived 

from information obtained from NFAOC and the factor table above. 

 Appreciation attributable to original equity. The Potters’ original equity was 

$500 or 1 percent of the original market value of $50,500. 

 Amount of interest assistance received. The Agency provided $7,101 of 

interest assistance over the course of the loan. 

RESULTS 

 Value appreciation subject to recapture. As line 19 of the Potter Family 

Recapture Worksheet shows, the value appreciation subject to recapture is $6,188. 

Recapture amount. The value appreciation subject to recapture is less than the 

amount of interest assistance the household received; therefore, the Potter’s recapture 

amount is $6,188.
