On March 25, 2019, the CFPB announced the availability of the FFIEC 2019 HMDA Getting it Right (GIR) Guide. Updated each year, the GIR guide is a valuable resource for assisting all institutions in their HMDA reporting. It includes a summary of responsibilities and requirements, directions for assembling the necessary tools, and instructions for reporting HMDA data.

The 2019 edition is effective January 1, 2019, and applies to 2019 HMDA data that must be submitted by March 1, 2020. This updated edition reflects amendments made to HMDA by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act and the 2018 HMDA interpretive and procedural rule issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The full FFIEC HMDA 2019 GIR can be found here.
