Remember to be HARP program eligible your mortgage has to be held by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac prior to May 31st, 2009. Unfortunately Ginnie Mae is not participating in the Home Affordable Refinance Program at this time.

In order to be HARP eligible you must be current on your mortgage and not have any late payments during the last six months. You are allowed only one late payment six months before this timeframe.
