What the document says
“An amount paid to the holder of a loan as a partial claim-- ``(A) shall not count against the amount of a loan that may otherwise be guaranteed under this chapter; and ``(B) may not be applied to the portion of the loan that is guaranteed under this chapter.”
The money paid as a partial claim is kept apart from the guaranty. It does not reduce what may otherwise be guaranteed, and it may not be applied to the guaranteed portion of the loan.
What the document actually says
“An amount paid to the holder of a loan as a partial claim-- ``(A) shall not count against the amount of a loan that may otherwise be guaranteed under this chapter; and ``(B) may not be applied to the portion of the loan that is guaranteed under this chapter.”
That sentence, in plain words
The money the VA pays here is kept apart. It does not eat into the loan promise.
What this is about
The VA backs part of the loan. That backing is what the word promise means here. This payment does not touch it.
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.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
