The eligibility limitation to Fannie/Freddie loans is only on the refinancing program (HARP), not the modification program. HAMP will apply to all mortgages originated before January 1, 2009. No loans originated after that date will be eligible. New borrowers will be accepted until December 31, 2012. Program payments will be made for up to five years after the date of entry into the HAMP. Monitoring, however, will continue for the life of the loan.
