Wednesday, December 25, 2024 is a federal holiday; therefore this date must be excluded as a business day when determining the earliest date that settlement may occur from the date the consumer(s) receive the initial Closing Disclosure. For example, if the consumer receives the initial CD on Friday, December 20, the earliest date that settlement could occur would be Tuesday, December 24. If the consumer receives the initial CD on Monday, December 23, the earliest date that settlement could occur would be Friday, December 27. Similarly, Wednesday, December 25, 2024, must also be excluded as a business day in counting the seven-business day waiting period from when the initial Loan Estimate was provided to consummation. As a reminder, if the initial Closing Disclosure is received on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, it cannot be considered received until the next business day, December 26, 2024.
