USDA has no minimum history requirement for employment in a particular

position. The key concept is whether the applicant has a history of receiving stable

income and a reasonable expectation that the income will continue. The Loan Originator

must carefully assess the applicant’s income to establish whether it can reasonably be

expected to continue. If the Loan Originator determines that an applicant’s income

source is unstable and undependable, the income must be excluded from repayment but

included in annual income.

 

If our borrower is unemployed for a period of time we would want to document the unemployment w/ 1099’s for unemployment compensation covering that time period.
Also, the VOE for the new job should state that the income is expected to continue for the forseeable future.
We would also want W-2’s from 2007 & 2008 to prove previous employment w/ the to evaluate his earnings history to ensure it is/was consistent.

 

 

Happy Selling!
