In this Circular, “VA announced that VA Loan Technicians will be reviewing all VA-guaranteed loans that have been reported as paid-in-full and that have an associated partial claim. They will be contacting loan servicers via e-mail to follow up on the submission of the partial claim payment funds and to determine if the payoff funds were properly submitted to VA’s contractor.”
