COVID-19 Developments and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act	COVID-19 Developments and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act COVID-19 Developments On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus strain (COVID-19) a global health emergency and characterized the outbreak as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In an effort to stem contagion and control the COVID-19 pandemic the population at large has severely curtailed day-to-day activity and local, state and federal regulators have imposed a broad set of restrictions on personal and business conduct nationwide. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the widespread public and regulatory response, has caused a dramatic slowdown in U.S. and global economic activity. In the weeks following the outbreak, non-essential businesses across the U.S. have been shuttered and capital markets have experienced a significant spike in volatility and sell-off in valuations. A record number of Americans have been furloughed or laid-off, and unemployment claims have increased dramatically. The global dislocation caused by COVID-19 is unprecedented and, while there is broad hope for a medical advance that relieves the crisis and provides for a quick return to normalized activity, it is not known how long the dislocation will persist. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and continuing uncertainties, we activated our business continuity program to ensure our employees were safe and able to continue serving our customers and their borrowers without interruption. We expect the COVID-19 outbreak will have a direct effect on the U.S. housing market, with existing homeowners facing challenges related to COVID-19, and the volume and timing of future housing transactions negatively impacted as potential sellers re-evaluate or postpone planned sales (housing supply) and potential buyers reassess their ability and willingness to purchase homes (demand). We are currently assessing the potential impact the COVID-19 outbreak will have on the U.S economy and housing market, the mortgage insurance market, and our business performance and financial position, including our new business production, defaults and claims experience and investment portfolio returns, of which the ultimate outcome cannot be estimated at this time. CARES Act On March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the CARES Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We currently are eligible but have not taken advantage of the payroll protection program, emergency grants and business loans under the CARES Act. We will continue to monitor the impact that the CARES Act may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
