Report Description:
We found that SLMA’s billing for its NLMA subsidiary for SAP under the 9.5 percent floor, complied with the TTPA and HERA. However, SLMA’s billing for NLMA did not comply with other requirements for the 9.5 percent floor calculation. Specifically, SLMA continued to bill loans under the 9.5 percent floor after the eligible tax-exempt bonds, from which the loans derived their eligibility for the 9.5 percent floor, had matured and been retired, and after the loans were refinanced with funds derived from ineligible sources. We estimate that this noncompliance resulted in special allowance overpayments of about $22.3 million.
