The VA’s Partial Claim Payment Program is available to veterans who are more than 30 days delinquent on their mortgage due to COVID-related economic difficulties. This program is specifically for veterans who already received federal forbearance, but are still struggling to make their payments. The Partial Claim Payment Program will pay the past due balance on the mortgage and also create an interest free second mortgage on the property. The money does not have to be repaid unless the home is sold or refinanced.

You may also be flooded with calls from mortgage lenders if you apply through online platforms. This guide shows you how to do multiple applications the right way.
