# [HMDA Compliance Training - CFPB Updates 2018 Filing Guide](https://blog.bankerscompliance.com/en/cfpb-updates-2018-filing-guide)

The CFPB has announced changes to its Filing instructions guide for HMDA data collected in 2018. 

The changes clarify:

1. That leading zeros should not be used to make a field a certain number of characters; and,

1. If using the Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS), Code 16 (“Other”) may be used in reporting the results.

Updates were also made to a couple of the validity edit codes.

We’ve updated our HMDA Data Guide (Version 1.2) to reflect that Code 16 (“Other”) is a valid option when using the GUS (#2 above).  It is now available in our [free Lending Tools](https://store.bankerscompliance.com/#/myproducts/product/7beb48b7-6e90-43a5-acf0-5d4304c5335b?keyword=).
