A borrower acknowledges receipt of the special flood hazard notice electronically. When can electronic delivery satisfy the notice requirement?
Correct Answer
A) When delivery complies with applicable electronic-record and consent requirements
Why this is correct: Electronic delivery of the special flood hazard notice is permissible if it complies with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and any applicable regulatory requirements for electronic records and consumer consent. Why the other choices are wrong: The statement "Never, because every flood notice must be handwritten" is wrong because electronic delivery is legally allowed. The statement "Whenever the lender posts it internally without notifying the borrower" is wrong because internal posting does not constitute valid delivery to the borrower. The statement "Only after the loan is delinquent" is wrong because the notice timing is tied to loan origination/renewal events, not delinquency. Exam tip: Electronic delivery is valid, but only if E-SIGN and consent rules are strictly followed.
