MBA Sends Letter Regarding Changes to ANS for H.R. 6047

The Mortgage Bankers Association sent a letter to the leadership of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs regarding the amendment in the nature of a substitute for H.R. 6047, the Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2026. The letter states that the MBA cannot support the ANS as currently drafted.

“MBA understands and fully supports the goal of this legislation–to ensure Veterans receive the disability and survivor benefits they deserve. However, we cannot yet support the ANS to H.R. 6047 (as currently drafted) given the harmful impacts its funding fee increases would have on Veterans’ access to affordable home financing,” the letter reads. “We respectfully ask that the Committee work to revise Section 3 to remove or substantially modify the proposed fee increases and extensions.”
