1. Purpose. The purpose of this Circular is to clarify when lenders are to provide invoices and/or supporting documents to VA to support itemized fees and charges that are charged to or paid by a Veteran or assumer obtaining a VA-guaranteed loan.

2. Background. VA regulations1 limit the fees and charges that may be charged to or paid by a Veteran, surviving spouse or assumer (hereafter Veteran) obtaining or assuming a VA- guaranteed loan. Fees and charges not expressly permitted by VA may not be charged to or paid by the Veteran obtaining a VA-guaranteed loan. VA published Circular 26-24-19 to provide clarity regarding VA’s expectations of how lenders comply with VA’s policies on allowable fees and charges. Section 3.a and Section 3.b(2) of Circular 26-24-19 required lenders to submit invoices to VA in the event the loan is called for a Full File Loan Review (FFLR). Lenders are expected to continue to comply with VA’s policies and procedures regarding itemized fees and charges outlined in the Circular and Chapter 8 of VA Lenders Handbook, Pamphlet 26-7. However, lenders are no longer required to provide supporting invoices at the time files are submitted for FFLR, manual guaranty requests, or assumptions. Instead, lenders are to maintain supporting documentation in their loan file and provide it to VA upon request including in response to VA Monitoring Unit Audits.

Operationalizing VA Circular 26-24-19 Change 1 (June 4, 2026) — Invoice Requirements for Itemized Fees and Charges
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.
