NMLS Policy Changes for COVID-19

Following the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's release announcing there would be a 30-day extension for certain reports, the NMLS Policy Committee has decided to amend the previously announced 60-day temporary deadline extension for the following types of reporting submitted in NMLS:

Money Services Businesses Call Report
Mortgage Call Report
Mortgage Call Report Financial Condition
Financial Statements

With the amended policy, instead of an extension, the NMLS Policy Committee encourages regulators to be lenient and not take administrative action if reports are filed within 30 days of the placement of the License Item.
