• Jurisdiction: Oregon
• Vol.: 10
• Title 33: Privileges and Benefits of Veterans and Service Personnel
• Ch. 407: Veterans Loans

Text

(1) It is the policy of the State of Oregon to make every reasonable attempt to keep a veteran in the home purchased under the loan program when the veteran is unable to make required loan payments because of illness, injury, death, involuntary job loss or economic stress due to factors beyond individual control. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs, by rule, shall implement such state policy. Rules adopted by the department under this section:
(a) May provide for a temporary reduction of loan payment.
(b) May provide for any other solution jointly agreed to by the borrower and the department.
(c) Shall provide for repayment of the amount of any loan payments reduced under the rules in accordance with terms and conditions agreed upon by the borrower and the department.
(2) In reducing loan payments under this section, the department must consider the effect of such reduction on the solvency of the program as a whole, on estimates of the most probable financial position of the program for one or more future periods, the condition of the tax exempt bond market, and the effect on other borrowers in the program.
