The conclusive presumption of compliance qualification is tied to meeting General Qualified Mortgage standards. When a loan meets these General QM requirements, it is conclusively presumed to comply with the Ability-to-Repay rule, giving the lender a safe harbor from liability for ATR. General QM loans must avoid risky features—no negative amortization, no interest-only payments, and no balloon payments—and must meet caps on points and fees (typically 3% of the loan amount) along with applicable debt-to-income limits (commonly around 43%). Because these criteria establish a clear, safe path to ATR compliance, they create the conclusive presumption. Loans that don’t meet General QM standards do not enjoy this presumption, and the other options listed (non-conforming status, jumbo standards, or subprime credit scores) do not by themselves establish this conclusive safety net.
