Are SSA-89 the SSN validation required by FNMA or only if there are inconsistencies and flags?
• Answer – I was incorrect in my statement regarding Fannie Mae’s requirement about SSN verification. You only need to verify with the SSA if the borrowers SSN is not validated by DU. Please reference Fannie Mae Announcement SEL-2010-01. https://www.efanniemae.com/sf/guides/ssg/annltrs/pdf/2010/sel1001.pdf.
