HMBS Pool Level Disclosure Summary Characteristics

Characteristic Description

Two Physical Files HMBS Pool/Security File: Pool/Security information with one record per active pool. This 

will be one physical file with single header record at beginning of file and single trailer 

record at end of file.

HMBS Pool Supplemental File: Supplemental information for all pools, with multiple 

records per pool. This will be in one physical file with single header record at beginning of 

file and single trailer record at end of file.

HMBS Pool/Security Record Type One Record Type with basic information about the Pool and also provides the Security RPB, 

RPB Factor, and Weighted Averages (WA) for various attributes. This record is an enhanced 

version of the current “D” record in the HMBS Disclosure File V4.4. The HMBS

Pool/Security File will only contain a header, trailer, and this one record type for each active 

pool.

HMBS Pool Supplemental Record Types Thirteen (13) Supplemental Record Types providing extensive information about the pool 

activity and characteristics. Most of these record types have common format and 

enumeration characteristics.

Flexible Format All Records are produced as text format with Pipe (|) delimited separation between fields. 

The files will be published in compressed (zip) format. 

Population of Records and Fields HMBS Pool/Security Record will always be produced. There can be occurrences of “||” (barbar) where there is no data value for a field.

HMBS Pool Supplemental Records are “data driven” and therefore individual Record Types 

are produced based on the characteristics of the pool.

Fields within Record Types are “data driven” and therefore populated based on 

characteristics of the pool. There can be occurrences of “||” (bar-bar), where there is no data 

value for a field.

Explicit Decimal Point For fields that have values with decimal points, the HMBS Pool/Security File records and the 

HMBS Pool Supplemental File records will explicitly include the decimal point; 

Loan Age and Funding Age Ginnie Mae has standardized its calculation of Loan Age and Funding Age to be as follows:

• Loan Age = (the difference between the YYYYMM portion of the loan 

Origination Date and the YYYYMM of the Reporting Period) + 1 month.
Ginnie Mae HMBS Pool Level Disclosure File Version 5.1

 4-1-2024 Ginnie Mae HMBS Pool Level Disclosure File Version 5.1 7

• Funding Age = (the difference between the YYYYMM portion of the loan 

Funding Date and the YYYYMM of the Reporting Period) + 1 month

Borrower/Coborrower/Non-borrowing 

Spouse ages

Ginnie Mae has standardized its calculation of borrower/coborrower/non-borrowing spouse 

age as follows:

• Age = (difference between the YYYYMM portion of the Birth Date and the 

YYYYMM of the Reporting Period)

Liquidating Loans Ginnie Mae has standardized the exclusion of liquidating loan amounts from use in the 

numerators/denominators of certain calculations (such as: UPB of Participations as % of 

Principal Limit of HECM Loans; UPB of Participations as % of MCA of HECM Loans; 

HECM Loans UPB as % of Principal Limit of HECM Loans; and HECM Loans UPB as % 

of MCA of HECM Loans). This primarily affects certain data values in record types “03”, 

“04”, “05”, “06” and “13”.

Sort Order of Records HMBS Pool/Security File: Records will be sorted by Pool ID in ascending order.

HMBS Pool Supplemental File: Records will be sorted by Pool ID (ascending order); 

Record Type within Pool

Record Type Layouts—Item Number Each of the Record Type layouts in this document have an “Item” number column. The Item 

numbers are for documentation reference only, and are not included in the physical output 

record.

Daily New Issuance, Monthly New 

Issuance, and Monthly Portfolio

The file layouts are the same for: HMBS Daily Pool New Issuance, Monthly Pool New 

Issuance, and HMBS Pool Monthly Portfolio disclosures. The Low and Moderate Borrower 

Income Record stratification record (record type “11”) will not appear in the Daily Pool New 

Issuance and Monthly Pool New Issuance files.

Implementation Dates New Issuance Files (Daily and Monthly), as well as the Monthly Portfolio are targeted for 

production release beginning in the 1st quarter 2024. 

Production Test Files (for Version 5.1) Sample Production test files for the HMBS Pool Level Disclosures will be available in the 

4th quarter 2023.

Transition Period Ginnie Mae will produce the existing HMBS Pool Disclosure File V4.4 files and the HMBS 

Pool Disclosure File V5.1 files, in parallel, for a period of at least 3 months.

specification of files and record formats is in the following section of this document.

fields. This file does not have stratifications or enumerations.
