Verbatim regulatory text
Verbatim provisions from USDA SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook HB-1-3555 ¶15.1 — Introduction — each quote is a verified substring of the regulator-published source snapshot, not retyped. Quoted for reference; this is not legal advice. The operational layer (P&P updates, prompts) lives in the regulation update kits.
USDA HB-1-3555, Chapter 15, § 15.1 — Introduction
It is the lender’s responsibility to work with the applicant to ensure all necessary documentation is obtained to satisfy the requirements for loan eligibility. Lenders may utilize industry standard forms when assembling the application package. The loan must be underwritten and approved by the lender prior to submission to the Agency. The Agency requires that lenders use the Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS), the Agency’s automated underwriting system, for all supported loan products. Lenders will certify upon a “final” underwriting submission that the loan has been reviewed, underwritten, and all data entered in GUS is true, complete, accurate, and retained. Lenders must review the GUS Underwriting Findings Report to ensure all requirements are met. Refer to Attachment 15-A, Guaranteed Rural Housing – Loan Origination Checklist, for a list of required items to be provided to the Agency for a complete loan application package.
Operationalizing USDA SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook HB-1-3555 ¶15.1 — Introduction
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
