Mortgage reverification workflow for post-closing QC

A reverification request is not a result. A defensible post-closing QC workflow separates the request, delivery evidence, response, reviewer conclusion, exception, and any approved waiver so no generated letter can be mistaken for independent verification.

What this guidance should change

Define the worklist from the QC plan

Start with the current written plan and controlling investor or agency requirements. Define which reverifications apply by product, channel, evidence type, and exception rather than creating the same generic task list for every loan.

Preserve the request

Record the verifier, requested evidence, request date, secure delivery method, due date, and the exact letter or payload sent. A request letter should be immutable after issuance; corrections should create a new version.

Keep status precise

Use distinct states for pending, requested, received, verified, exception, and waived. Each state needs an owner, timestamp, and source. 'Sent' or 'complete' alone hides whether third-party evidence was actually received and evaluated.

Connect the result to disposition

Attach the response to the loan record, identify the compared source fact, and record the qualified reviewer's conclusion. Exceptions should flow into defect management and corrective action rather than disappear inside a task comment.
