S&P Global Ratings uses its LEVELS model to analyze U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions. Related to "Methodology And Assumptions For Rating U.S. RMBS Issued 2009 And Later," published Feb. 22, 2018, we are publishing this article to provide market participants with the input file format to be used with LEVELS (see table). For a general guide to industry terminology, see Appendix V of the related criteria.
The following update has been made to the input file format:
- Added "CA0" as a valid input value for the Claims Adjustment Category field;
- Changed the data type of the Primary Borrower ID Number field from "Numeric/Integer" to "Text"; and
- Changed the format of the Primary Borrower ID Number field from "9(9)" to "X(30)".
Previous updates include:
- Added "05 = Unknown Self-Employed Status" as a valid input value for the Self-employment Flag field.
LEVELS will also accept residential mortgage input data submitted in the American Securitization Forum RMBS Disclosure format. However, additional fields will be required, such as "Truth in Lending Act (TILA) Status," "Most Recent 24 Month Pay History," and "Documentation Type," by the LEVELS model.

S&P Parties disclaim any duty whatsoever arising out of the assignment, withdrawal, or suspension of an acknowledgment as well as any liability for any damage alleged to have been suffered on account thereof.
S&P keeps certain activities of its business units separate from each other in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of their respective activities. As a result, certain business units of S&P may have information that is not available to other S&P business units. S&P has established policies and procedures to maintain the confidentiality of certain nonpublic information received in connection with each analytical process.
S&P may receive compensation for its ratings and certain analyses, normally from issuers or underwriters of securities or from obligors.
