What the document says

“The Secretary may not purchase an entire such loan until the veteran has completed such sequence.”

To amend title 38, United States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to take certain actions in the case of a default on a home loan guaranteed by the Secretary, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

The same new subsection (d) of section 3732 of title 38, United States Code, bars the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from buying a guaranteed loan outright before the veteran has been through the required sequence of options.

What the document actually says

“The Secretary may not purchase an entire such loan until the veteran has completed such sequence.”

To amend title 38, United States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to take certain actions in the case of a default on a home loan guaranteed by the Secretary, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

The VA cannot buy the whole loan yet. It must wait until the veteran has been through the steps.

What this is about

Buying the whole loan makes the VA the lender. That comes last, not first.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
