As previously reported, in August 2020 the CFPB released the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) Filing Instruction Guide (FIG) for data that must be collected in 2021 and reported in 2022. Recently, the CFPB released an update to the FIG. Edits Q656 and Q657 that were in Table 8: Macro Quality Edits for Loan/Application Register of the prior version of the FIG have been reclassified and moved to Table 7: Quality Edits for Loan/Application Register in the updated version of the FIG. A macro quality edit checks whether the submitted loan/application register as a whole conforms to expected values. A quality edit checks whether entries in the individual data fields or combinations of data fields conform to expected values.
