    description: |
      [SVCRS] must have adequate internal control processes to
      ensure that real estate taxes, assessments, and flood and
      hazard insurance premiums are paid as required for all
      property securing a guaranteed loan. Escrow funds may be used
      only for the purpose for which they were collected. Escrow
      accounts for all guaranteed loans must be administered in
      accordance with all applicable regulations and must be insured
      by the FDIC or the NCUA insurance fund.
    type: maintain
    audit_question: For every USDA SFHGLP-guaranteed loan in [SVCR]'s portfolio, can [SVCR] evidence (i) adequate internal control processes ensuring that real estate taxes, assessments, and flood / hazard insurance premiums are paid as required, (ii) use of escrow funds only for the purpose for which they were collected, and (iii) escrow account administration in compliance with all applicable regulations with FDIC- or NCUA-insured custody?
    program_review: Does the servicing program maintain internal controls ensuring taxes, assessments, and flood/hazard premiums are paid as required, escrow funds are used only for their collected purpose, and escrow accounts are administered per regulation in FDIC-/NCUA-insured custody?
    file_review: Pull a serviced-loan sample; confirm timely tax/assessment/insurance disbursement, purpose-restricted escrow use, and FDIC/NCUA-insured custody. The officer judges whether the internal-control process is adequate in operation.

Did an assistant just answer an USDA question for you? A Procedure Notice replaces chapter text silently. An assistant quoting HB-1-3555 cannot tell you which notice it is working from, or whether a later one moved the rule. This page is the operative text, with its effective date.

Check the answer, or check a whole file. Paste into ChatGPT or Claude:

1. Read https://claudeforcompliance.com/qc/usda-hb-3555-ch17 — the verbatim text of this section with its effective date. Tell me whether the answer you just gave me still matches it. Quote the operative text and its effective date, and flag anything you said that it does not support.

2. Then, if I upload my USDA loan file, fetch https://claudeforcompliance.com/skills/usda-loan-qc/SKILL.md and run a pre-fund QC check against it.

Operationalizing USDA HB-1-3555 ch17 bootstrap

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.
