Title: Loan Guaranty: Ability-to-Repay Standards and Qualified Mortgage Definition Under the Truth in Lending Act 
Abstract:

This document adopts as a final rule, with changes, a previous interim final rule that amended the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Loan Guaranty regulations that implemented provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, requiring that VA define the types of VA loans that are "qualified mortgages" for the purposes of the Ability to Repay provisions of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA).  This rule clarifies which VA-guaranteed loans are to be considered "qualified mortgages" and have either safe harbor protection or the presumption that the borrower is able to repay the loan, in accordance with the Ability to Repay provisions.
