Hurricane Nicole impact on RATA Associates' business operations
As you should be aware, a Hurricane is closing in on Florida again on Thursday, November 10th. RATA is prepared for the storm and it should not have any effect on any client operations. RATA employees will be working remotely as long as they have power and internet. If you have a support issue please email our general support@rataassociates.com. If you have a support call, you can try a direct extension or the main voicemail. Unfortunately, you may not get your issue resolved on that day but we will do our best. We apologize for any inconvenience, but it is out of our control (literally). We hope to be up to full operations on Friday, but that will depend on power, damage and flooding. We will keep you posted the best we can. Thank you.

HMDA Peer Data for Peer2Peer using the Revised Race, Ethnicity and Sex Groupings for 2018-2021
The CFPB released specifications on GitHub in October 2020 regarding changes to the derived categorization of Race, Ethnicity and Sex groupings for reporting years 2018 and up.

For these reasons, we felt it would be in the best interest for all parties involved to go through the key functions of Comply, walk through the basics
