Credit History

If the credit report indicates satisfactory credit prior to a disaster and any derogatory credit subsequent to that date can be related to the effects of the disaster, FHA will consider, for its underwriting standards, that the borrower is a satisfactory credit risk.

Disaster victims with Secretary-held mortgages are eligible for new FHA-insured mortgages provided the borrower is current with the forbearance agreement at the time of the disaster and all payment for the preceding twelve months were made within the month due.
