SAFE Act · Clerical dutiesQuestion 1 of 10
PRACTICE QUESTION
A supervised loan processor calls a borrower for a missing pay stub. The borrower asks whether locking now or waiting would get a better rate. What may the processor do under the SAFE Act’s definition of clerical or support duties?
Correct answer: C
Clerical or support duties include communicating with a consumer to obtain information needed for processing or underwriting, as long as the communication does not include offering or negotiating rates or terms or counseling the consumer about rates or terms.
Reference: 12 U.S.C. 5102(5)(B)(ii)

SAMPLE QUESTION01 / 01
MORTGAGE MATH · PREPAID INTEREST
Interest is paid in arrears. A loan closes on March 20 with daily interest of $42.00, and the first monthly payment is due May 1. Counting the closing day, how much prepaid interest is collected at closing?
The May 1 payment covers April’s interest, so at closing the lender collects interest from March 20 through March 31. That is 12 days counting the closing day: 42 × 12 = $504. $1,764.00 also collects April, which the first payment already covers.
