New IVR Authentication Program Launching November 16

Beginning Thursday, Nov. 16, all homeowners who call our contact center will be required to authenticate via our IVR before they can be transferred to a representative for assistance. We are introducing this change in an effort to provide better call routing and a better homeowner experience, an important step in our mission to resolve as many homeowners’ issues without having to transfer the call.

The vast majority of homeowners (about 83%) already authenticate in the IVR when they call us, and we’ve made the authentication process simple.

Most people who call us can authenticate using the last four digits of their Social Security number. If this method does not work, they’re simply asked to provide their full Social Security number or their loan number, along with their ZIP code. These are the same (and only) options we have always used for authentication prior to providing representative support. Homeowners who can’t authenticate will be directed to call us back when they are able to have their account information handy.

If you have any questions, please contact your client manager.
