Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Freddie Mac is a GSE chartered by Congress in 1970. Our public mission is to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing market. We are regulated by FHFA, the SEC, HUD, and Treasury, and are currently operating under the conservatorship of FHFA. For more information on the roles of FHFA and Treasury, see Note 2 in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or 2019 Annual Report. Throughout our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, we use certain acronyms and terms which are defined in the Glossary of our 2019 Annual Report. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our 2019 Annual Report. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include our accounts as well as the accounts of other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We are operating under the basis that we will realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business as a going concern and in accordance with the authority provided by FHFA to our Board of Directors to oversee management's conduct of our business operations. Certain amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. See Note 1 in our 2019 Annual Report for additional information on these reclassifications. In the opinion of management, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our results. Beginning January 1, 2020, we elected to offset payables related to securities sold under agreements to repurchase against receivables related to securities purchased under agreements to resell, when such amounts meet the conditions for balance sheet offsetting under GAAP. Certain amounts in prior periods' condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. See Note 10 in this Form 10-Q for additional information. We evaluate the materiality of identified errors in the financial statements using both an income statement, or "rollover," and a balance sheet, or "iron curtain," approach, based on relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The financial statements include certain adjustments to correct immaterial errors related to previously reported periods. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses during the reporting period. Management has made significant estimates in preparing the financial statements for establishing the allowance for credit losses and valuing financial instruments and other assets and liabilities. Actual results could be different from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we measure an allowance for credit losses on cash equivalents based on expected credit losses over the contractual term of the instrument. As of June 30, 2020, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our cash equivalents due to their overall high credit quality and short-term nature. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ASU 2016-13 , Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments; ASU 2019-04 , Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses; and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses The amendments in these Updates replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects lifetime expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. January 1, 2020 Due to the adoption of these Updates, we recognized a reduction to retained earnings of $0.2 billion through a cumulative-effect adjustment on January 1, 2020. See the CECL Transition Impacts section below for additional information on transition impacts. See Note 4 , Note 5 , Note 6 , and Note 7 for additional information on the changes in our significant accounting policies as a result of our adoption of CECL. ASU 2018-13 , Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. Certain disclosure requirements were either removed, modified, or added. January 1, 2020 We added disclosure of the change in unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period. See Note 15 for additional information. ASU 2018-15 , Intangibles -Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract The amendments in this Update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). January 1, 2020 The adoption of the amendments did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or on our disclosures. ASU 2018-17 , Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities The amendments in this Update require that indirect interests held through related parties under common control be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers or service providers are variable interests. These amendments align with the determination of whether a reporting entity within a related party group is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. January 1, 2020 The adoption of the amendments did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or on our disclosures. ASU 2019-01 , Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements The amendments in this Update provide guidance for the: (1) lessor's fair value determination of the lease's underlying asset; (2) lessor's statement of cash flows presentation of cash received from sales-type and direct financing leases; and (3) removal of interim transition disclosure requirements related to changes in accounting principles. January 1, 2020 The adoption of the amendments did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or on our disclosures. ASU 2020-04 , Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting The amendments in this Update provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued.

Conservatorship and Related Matters [Abstract]
CONSERVATORSHIP AND RELATED MATTERS	Conservatorship and Related Matters Business Objectives We operate under the conservatorship that commenced on September 6, 2008, conducting our business under the direction of FHFA, as our Conservator. The conservatorship and related matters significantly affect our management, business activities, financial condition, and results of operations. Upon its appointment, FHFA, as Conservator, immediately succeeded to all rights, titles, powers, and privileges of Freddie Mac, and of any stockholder, officer, or director thereof, with respect to the company and its assets. The Conservator also succeeded to the title to all books, records, and assets of Freddie Mac held by any other legal custodian or third party. The Conservator provided for the Board of Directors to perform certain functions and to oversee management, and the Board delegated to management authority to conduct business operations so that the company can continue to operate in the ordinary course. The directors serve on behalf of, and perform such functions as provided by, the Conservator. We are subject to certain constraints on our business activities under the Purchase Agreement. However, the support provided by Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement currently enables us to maintain our access to the debt markets and to have adequate liquidity to conduct our normal business activities, although the costs of our debt funding could vary. Our ability to access funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement is critical to keeping us solvent. Purchase Agreement Treasury, as the holder of the senior preferred stock, is entitled to receive quarterly cash dividends, when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors. The dividends we have paid to Treasury on the senior preferred stock have been declared by, and paid at the direction of, the Conservator, acting as successor to the rights, titles, powers, and privileges of the Board. Under the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, for each quarter from January 1, 2013 and thereafter, the dividend payment will be the amount, if any, by which our Net Worth Amount at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, less the applicable Capital Reserve Amount, exceeds zero. Pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the applicable Capital Reserve Amount is $20.0 billion . As a result, we will not be required to pay a dividend on the senior preferred stock to Treasury until our Net Worth Amount exceeds $20.0 billion. If for any reason we do not pay the net worth sweep dividend in full for any period, the applicable Capital Reserve Amount will thereafter be zero . In addition, pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will be increased, at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning on September 30, 2019, by an amount equal to the increase in the Net Worth Amount, if any, during the immediately prior fiscal quarter, until the liquidation preference has increased by $17.0 billion . As a result, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased from $81.8 billion on March 31, 2020 to $82.2 billion on June 30, 2020 based on the $0.4 billion increase in our Net Worth Amount during 1Q 2020, and will increase to $84.1 billion on September 30, 2020 based on the $1.9 billion increase in our Net Worth Amount during 2Q 2020. Under the September 2019 Letter Agreement, Freddie Mac and Treasury also agreed to negotiate and execute an amendment to the Purchase Agreement that further enhances taxpayer protections by adopting covenants broadly consistent with recommendations for administrative reform contained in the Treasury's September 2019 Housing Reform Plan. Impact of Conservatorship and Related Developments on the Mortgage-Related Investments Portfolio In February 2019, FHFA directed us to maintain the UPB of our mortgage-related investments portfolio at or below $225 billion at all times. We began including 10% of the notional value of certain interest-only securities owned by Freddie Mac in the calculation of this portfolio during 1Q 2020 as directed by FHFA in November 2019. The UPB of this portfolio was $199.4 billion at June 30, 2020 , including $5.3 billion representing 10% of the notional amount of the interest-only securities we held as of June 30, 2020. Our ability to acquire and sell mortgage assets continues to be significantly constrained by limitations imposed by the Purchase Agreement and FHFA. Government Support for Our Business We receive substantial support from Treasury and are dependent upon its continued support to continue operating our business. Our ability to access funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement is critical to: n Keeping us solvent; n Allowing us to focus on our primary business objectives under conservatorship; and n Avoiding the appointment of a receiver by FHFA under statutory mandatory receivership provisions. At March 31, 2020, our assets exceeded our liabilities under GAAP; therefore, FHFA, as Conservator, did not request a draw on our behalf and, as a result, we did not receive any funding from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement during 2Q 2020. The amount of available funding remaining under the Purchase Agreement is $140.2 billion and will be reduced by any future draws. See Note 8 and Note 11 for more information on the conservatorship and the Purchase Agreement. Related Parties As a Result of Conservatorship We are deemed related parties with Fannie Mae as both we and Fannie Mae have the same relationships with FHFA and Treasury. CSS was formed in 2013 as a limited liability company equally-owned by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and is also deemed a related party. In connection with the formation of CSS, we entered into a limited liability company agreement with Fannie Mae. We and Fannie Mae have each appointed two executives to the CSS Board of Managers and signed governance and operating agreements for CSS, including an updated customer services agreement with Fannie Mae and CSS in May of 2019. In June of 2019, we entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae regarding the commingling of certain of our mortgage securities under the Single Security Initiative and related indemnification obligations. In January 2020, FHFA directed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to amend the CSS LLC agreement to change the structure of the CSS Board of Managers, appointing a new independent non-Executive Chair and providing the CSS CEO a seat on the CSS Board. During conservatorship, all CSS Board decisions will require the affirmative vote of the FHFA-designated CSS Board Chair and FHFA may appoint up to three additional independent members to the CSS Board. We account for our investment in CSS using the equity method. We increase the carrying value of our investment in CSS when we contribute capital to CSS. We recognize our equity in the net earnings of CSS each period as a component of investment gains (losses), net on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). During YTD 2020, we contributed $48 million of capital to CSS, and we have contributed $618 million since we began making contributions in the fourth quarter of 2014. The carrying value of our investment in CSS was $29 million and $35 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Securitization Activities and Consolidation [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entity Disclosure [Text Block]	Securitization Activities and Consolidation Our primary business activities in our Single-family Guarantee and Multifamily segments involve the securitization of loans or other mortgage-related assets using trusts that are VIEs. These trusts issue beneficial interests in the loans or other mortgage-related assets that they own. We guarantee the principal and interest payments on some or all of the issued beneficial interests in substantially all of our securitization transactions. We consolidate VIEs when we have a controlling financial interest in the VIE and are therefore considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. See Note 5 for additional information on our guarantee activities. Consolidated VIEs The table below presents the carrying value and classification of the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Table 3.1 - Consolidated VIEs (In millions) June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Line Item Assets: Cash and cash equivalents (includes $820 and $869 of restricted cash and cash equivalents) $821 $870 Securities purchased under agreements to resell 47,364 23,137 Investment securities, at fair value 988 597 Mortgage loans held-for-investment, net 2,000,649 1,940,523 Accrued interest receivable, net 6,481 6,170 Other assets 18,532 9,824 Total assets of consolidated VIEs $2,074,835 $1,981,121 Liabilities: Accrued interest payable $5,617 $5,536 Debt 2,020,866 1,898,355 Other liabilities — 1 Total liabilities of consolidated VIEs $2,026,483 $1,903,892 Non-Consolidated VIEs Our involvement with VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary takes one or both of two forms - purchasing an investment in these entities or providing a guarantee to these entities. As part of the Single Security Initiative, we have the ability to commingle TBA-eligible Fannie Mae collateral in certain of our resecuritization products that we do not consolidate. We extend our guarantee of these products to cover principal and interest that are payable from the underlying Fannie Mae collateral. See Note 5 for additional information on our guarantee of Fannie Mae securities. The following table presents the carrying amounts and classification of the assets and liabilities recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to non-consolidated VIEs with which we were involved in the design and creation and have a significant continuing involvement, as well as our maximum exposure to loss and total assets of the VIEs. Our maximum exposure to loss includes the guaranteed UPB of the securities issued by the non-consolidated VIEs, the UPB of unguaranteed securities that we acquired from these securitization transactions, and the UPB of master servicer and guarantor advances made to the holders of the guaranteed securities. While we include the UPB of Fannie Mae securities backing non-consolidated Freddie Mac resecuritization trusts because we are providing a guaranty for the timely payment and interest on the underlying Fannie Mae securities that we have not previously guaranteed, we exclude the UPB of Freddie Mac securities backing these same trusts primarily because we already consolidate the underlying Freddie Mac collateral of these trusts on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to loss also excludes our interest rate exposure on certain securitization activity and other mortgage-related guarantees measured at fair value where our interest rate exposure may be unlimited. We generally reduce our exposure to these guarantees with unlimited interest rate exposure through separate contracts with third parties. Total assets of non-consolidated VIEs excludes our investments in and obligations to non-consolidated Freddie Mac resecuritization trusts primarily because we already consolidate the underlying Freddie Mac collateral of these trusts on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe the maximum exposure to loss disclosed in the table below is representative of the actual loss we are likely to incur, based on our historical loss experience and after consideration of proceeds from related collateral liquidation, including possible recoveries under credit enhancements. See Note 6 for additional information on credit enhancements.

Our single-family loans are predominantly first lien, fixed-rate loans secured by the borrower's primary residence. We do not typically acquire loans that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination as of our acquisition date, although we may acquire such loans in connection with certain of our securitization activities or other mortgage-related guarantees. In addition, in April 2020, we announced that we would temporarily purchase certain single-family mortgage loans that have entered into forbearance as a result of borrower hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our purchases of such loans have been insignificant. Upon acquisition, we classify a loan as either held-for-investment or held-for-sale based on our intent with respect to the loan. Loans that we have the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future, including loans held by consolidated trusts and loans we intend to securitize using an entity we will consolidate, are classified as held-for-investment. Loans that we intend to sell are classified as held-for-sale. Held-for-investment loans for which we have not elected the fair value option are reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost basis, net of the allowance for credit losses. The amortized cost basis is based on a loan’s outstanding UPB, net of deferred fees and other cost basis adjustments (including unamortized premiums and discounts, upfront fees, commitment-related derivative basis adjustments, fair value hedge accounting adjustments, and other pricing adjustments), excluding accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable for both held-for-investment and held-for-sale loans is separately presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and excluded for the purposes of disclosure of the amortized cost basis of mortgage loans held-for-investment. Held-for-sale loans for which we have not elected the fair value option are reported at lower-of-cost-or-fair-value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any excess of a held-for-sale loan's cost over its fair value is recognized as a valuation allowance in investment gains (losses), net on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), with subsequent changes in this valuation allowance also being recorded in investment gains (losses), net. Premiums, discounts, and other cost basis adjustments (including lower-of-cost-or-fair-value adjustments) are deferred and not amortized. We elect the fair value option for certain multifamily loans that are originally classified as held-for-sale. Loans for which we have elected the fair value option are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with subsequent gains or losses related to changes in fair value reported in investment gains (losses), net on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). All fees, upfront costs, and other cost basis adjustments are recognized in earnings as incurred. Cash flows related to loans originally classified as held-for-investment are classified as either investing activities (e.g., principal repayments) or operating activities (e.g., interest payments received from borrowers included within net income (loss)) on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows related to loans originally classified as held-for-sale are classified as operating activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The table below provides details of the UPB of loans we purchased, reclassified from held-for-investment to held-for-sale, and sold during the periods presented. Table 4.2 - Loans Purchased, Reclassified from Held-for-Investment to Held-for-Sale, and Sold (In billions) 2Q 2020 2Q 2019 YTD 2020 YTD 2019 Single-family: Purchases Held-for-investment loans $230.7 $101.6 $368.4 $171.2 Reclassified from held-for-investment to held-for-sale (1) 0.8 1.0 3.4 5.1 Sale of held-for-sale loans (2) — 3.6 2.2 5.7 Multifamily: Purchases Held-for-investment loans 3.1 1.4 4.3 2.5 Held-for-sale loans 16.4 15.9 24.6 27.4 Reclassified from held-for-investment to held-for-sale (1) 0.6 0.3 0.6 0.8 Sale of held-for-sale loans (3) 11.0 15.2 21.7 29.9 (1) We reclassify loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale when we no longer have both the intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future. For additional information regarding the fair value of our loans classified as held-for-sale, see Note 15 . (2) Our sales of single-family loans reflect the sale of seasoned single-family mortgage loans. (3) Our sales of multifamily loans occur primarily through the issuance of multifamily K Certificates and SB Certificates. See Note 3 Reclassifications We reclassify loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale when we no longer have both the intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future. Upon reclassification from held-for-investment to held-for-sale, we perform a collectability assessment. When we determine that a loan to be transferred has experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, the excess of the loan’s amortized cost basis over its fair value is written off against the allowance for credit losses prior to the transfer. For all other loans, upon a transfer from held-for-investment to held-for-sale, we reverse the loan’s existing allowance for credit losses, if any, and establish a held-for-sale valuation allowance if the loan’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. We reclassify loans from held-for-sale to held-for-investment when we have both the intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future. Upon a loan reclassification from held-for-sale to held-for-investment, we reverse the loan’s held-for-sale valuation allowance, if any, and establish an allowance for credit losses as needed. The table below presents the allowance for credit losses or valuation allowance that was reversed or established due to loan reclassifications between held-for-investment and held-for-sale during the period presented.

Interest Income We recognize interest income on an accrual basis except when we believe the collection of principal and interest in full is not reasonably assured, which generally occurs when a loan is three monthly payments or more past due, at which point we place the loan on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection based upon an individual loan assessment. A loan is considered past due if a full payment of principal and interest is not received within one month of its due date. We charge off outstanding accrued interest receivable through interest income when loans are placed on non-accrual status and recognize interest income on a cash basis while a loan is on non-accrual status. Cost basis adjustments on held-for-investment loans are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. No amortization is recognized during periods in which a loan is on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status when the collectability of principal and interest in full is reasonably assured. For single-family loans, we generally determine that collectability is reasonably assured when the loan returns to current payment status. For multifamily loans, the collectability of principal and interest is considered reasonably assured based on an analysis of the factors specific to the loan being assessed. Upon a loan's return to accrual status, all previously reversed interest income is recognized and amortization of any basis adjustments into interest income is resumed. We make an exception to our standard non-accrual policy for loans in active COVID-19-related forbearance plans that were current prior to receiving forbearance and do not place such loans on non-accrual status based solely on delinquency status. For these loans, we consider additional factors, such as current LTV ratio, and continue to accrue interest while the loan is in forbearance and is three or more monthly payments past due when we believe the available evidence indicates that collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured. When we accrue interest on loans that are three or more monthly payments past due, we measure an allowance for expected credit losses on unpaid accrued interest receivable balances such that the balance sheet reflects the net amount of interest we expect to collect. The table below presents the amortized cost basis of non-accrual loans as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, including the interest income recognized for the periods presented that is related to the loans on non-accrual status at end of the periods.

The objective of CECL is to recognize an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from or added to the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under CECL, an allowance for credit losses is recognized before a loss event has been incurred, which results in earlier recognition of credit losses compared to the previous incurred loss methodology. Our allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans pertains to all single-family and multifamily loans classified as held-for-investment for which we have not elected the fair value option. We recognize changes in the allowance for credit losses by recording a provision for credit losses (or reversal of a provision for credit losses) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We measure the allowance for credit losses on a collective basis when our loans share similar risk characteristics. We record charge-offs in the period in which a loan is deemed uncollectible. Proceeds received in excess of amounts previously written off are recorded as a decrease to REO operations expense on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We may incur expenses related to a mortgage loan subsequent to its original acquisition but prior to foreclosure (pre-foreclosure costs). These expenses are generally to protect or preserve our interest or legal right in or to the property prior to foreclosure, such as property taxes or homeowner's insurance premiums owed by the borrower. Many of these expenses are advanced by the servicer and are reimbursable from the borrower. If the borrower ultimately defaults, we reimburse the servicer for the advances it has made. Upon advance by the servicer, we recognize a receivable for the amounts due from the borrower and a payable for amounts due to the servicer. We recognize an allowance for credit losses for amounts that we do not ultimately expect to collect from the borrower (allowance for credit losses on pre-foreclosure costs). The table below summarizes changes in our allowance for credit losses for single-family and multifamily loans held-for-investment, single-family advances of pre-foreclosure costs, and single-family accrued interest receivable related to loans in forbearance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Table 4.6 - Details of the Allowance for Credit Losses (In millions) 2Q 2020 2Q 2019 YTD 2020 YTD 2019 Single-family: Beginning balance (1) $6,298 $5,536 $5,184 $6,130 (Benefit) provision for credit losses 615 (162 ) 1,779 (299 ) Charge-offs (118 ) (243 ) (280 ) (847 ) Recoveries collected 36 128 124 234 Other 31 21 55 62 Single-family ending balance 6,862 5,280 6,862 5,280 Multifamily ending balance 124 12 124 12 Total ending balance $6,986 $5,292 $6,986 $5,292 Components of ending balance of single-family allowance for credit losses: Mortgage loans held-for-investment $6,482 $5,280 Advances of pre-foreclosure costs 323 N/A Accrued interest receivable 57 N/A Total $6,862 $5,280 (1) Includes transition adjustments recognized upon the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020. See Note 1 for more information on transition adjustments. During the 2020 periods, (benefit) provision for credit losses shifted to a provision from a benefit in the 2019 periods primarily due to higher expected credit losses as a result of the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The higher expected credit losses during YTD 2020 were primarily driven by the following factors: n Expected credit losses related to COVID-19 relief programs - Our provision for credit losses in YTD 2020 required significant management judgment to estimate the impact of COVID-19-related forbearance and relief programs on our expected credit losses. These judgments included estimates of the number of loans that will receive forbearance, the likely exit paths for loans in forbearance, and the number of loans where forbearance will be unsuccessful and the borrower will ultimately default. These factors resulted in a significant increase in our provision for credit losses for YTD 2020, with the majority of the increase occurring in 1Q 2020. In total, we have increased our allowance for credit losses for single-family mortgage loans held-for-investment by $2.1 billion as a result of the forbearance plans related to the COVID-19 pandemic. n Changes in forecasted house price growth rates - The overall effect of forecasted house price changes on our provision for credit losses for YTD 2020 was relatively minor, with an increase in provision in 1Q 2020 being largely offset by the improvement in 2Q 2020. n Declines in forecasted interest rates - The effect of the significant declines in mortgage interest rates during YTD 2020 partially offset the increase in the provision for credit losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, charge-offs decreased in the 2020 periods due to a lower volume of transfers of single-family loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale. The decline in economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the corresponding government response, is unprecedented, and as a result, our estimate of expected credit losses is subject to significant uncertainty. Single-Family Loans We estimate the allowance for credit losses for single-family loans on a pooled basis using a discounted cash flow model that evaluates a variety of factors to estimate the cash flows we expect to collect. If we determine that foreclosure on the underlying collateral is probable, we measure the allowance for credit losses for single-family loans based upon the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, adjusted for estimated proceeds from attached credit enhancements. The discounted cash flow model we use to estimate the single-family loan allowance for credit losses forecasts cash flows over the loan’s remaining contractual life, adjusted for expectations of prepayments and TDRs we reasonably expect will occur. We do not have a reasonable and supportable forecast period beyond which we revert to historical loss information. Cash flow estimates are discounted at the loan’s prepayment-adjusted effective interest rate. For adjustable-rate loans, forecasts are adjusted for projections in the underlying benchmark interest rate. For both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, we forecast cash flows we expect to collect using our historical experience, such as historical default rates and severity of loss based on loan characteristics, adjusted for current and future economic forecasts, such as current and projected house price appreciation and interest rate forecasts, and estimated recoveries from loss mitigation activities, attached credit enhancements, and disposition of collateral, less estimated disposition costs. We calculate the allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable based on similar default rate assumptions to those used for the related loans. We calculate the allowance for credit losses for advances of pre-foreclosure costs based on the amounts we expect to collect using our historical experience such as historical default rates. These projections require significant management judgment. We rely on third-parties to provide certain model inputs used in our projections. At loan delivery, the seller provides us with loan data, which includes borrower and loan characteristics and underwriting information. Each subsequent month, the servicers provide us with monthly loan level servicing data, including delinquency and loss information. We measure an allowance for credit losses for TDR loans on a pooled basis when they share similar risk characteristics, using either the discounted cash flow approach discussed above or based on the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell when foreclosure is probable. When using a discounted cash flow approach, the present value of the expected future cash flows is discounted at the loan's prepayment-adjusted effective interest rate just prior to the restructuring, with no adjustments made to the effective interest rate for changes in the timing of expected cash flows subsequent to the restructuring. We review the outputs of our model by considering qualitative factors such as current economic events and other external factors, including the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of associated government relief programs, to see whether the model outputs are consistent with our expectations. Additionally, we incorporate expected credit losses for TDRs that are reasonably expected to occur and the incidence of redefault we have experienced on similar loans that have completed a loan modification. Further management adjustments may be necessary to take into consideration the qualitative factors that have occurred but that are not yet reflected in the factors used to derive the model outputs or the uncertainty inherent in our projections. Significant judgment is exercised in making these adjustments. Multifamily Loans We estimate the allowance for credit losses for multifamily loans using a loss-rate method to estimate the net amount of cash flows we expect to collect. The loss rate method is based on a probability of default and loss given default framework that estimates credit losses by considering a loan’s underlying characteristics and current and forecasted economic conditions. Loan characteristics considered by our model include vintage, loan term, current DSCR, current LTV ratio, occupancy rate, and interest rate hedges. We forecast economic conditions over a reasonable and supportable two-year period prior to reverting to historical averages at the model input level over a five-year period, using a linear reversion method. We also consider as model inputs expected prepayments, contractually specified extensions, modifications we reasonably expect will occur, expected recoveries from collateral posting requirements, and the expected recoveries from attached credit enhancements. Our loss rates incorporate published historical commercial loan performance data, which we calibrate for differences between that data and our portfolio experience. Except for cases of fraud and certain other types of borrower defaults, most multifamily loans are non-recourse to the borrower. As a result, the cash flows of the underlying property (including any attached credit enhancements) serve as the primary source of funds for repayment of the loan. For loans where we determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and is two monthly payments or more past due, we measure the allowance for credit losses using the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, adjusted for estimated proceeds from credit enhancements that are not freestanding contracts. Factors considered by management in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty include the borrower’s current payment status and an evaluation of the underlying property's operating performance as represented by its current DSCR, its available credit enhancements, the current LTV ratio, the management of the underlying property, and the property's geographic location. We review the outputs of our model considering qualitative factors such as current economic events and other external factors to determine whether the model outputs are consistent with our expectations. Further management adjustments may be necessary to take into consideration the qualitative factors that have occurred but that are not yet reflected in the factors used to derive the model outputs. Significant judgment is exercised in making these adjustments. Credit Quality Single-Family The current LTV ratio is one key factor we consider when estimating our allowance for credit losses for single-family loans. As current LTV ratios increase, the borrower's equity in the home decreases, which may negatively affect the borrower's ability to refinance (outside of the Enhanced Relief Refinance program) or to sell the property for an amount at or above the balance of the outstanding loan. A second-lien loan also reduces the borrower's equity in the home and has a similar negative effect on the borrower's ability to refinance or sell the property for an amount at or above the combined balances of the first and second loans. However, borrowers are free to obtain second-lien financing after origination, and we are not entitled to receive notification when a borrower does so. For further information about concentrations of risk associated with our single-family and multifamily loans, see Note 14 . The tables below present the amortized cost basis of single-family held-for-investment loans by current LTV ratio. Our current LTV ratios are estimates based on available data through the end of each respective period presented. For reporting purposes: n Loans within the Alt-A category continue to be presented in that category following modification, even though the borrower may have provided full documentation of assets and income to complete the modification and n Loans within the option ARM category continue to be presented in that category following modification, even though the modified loan no longer provides for optional payment provisions.

Multifamily The table below presents the amortized cost basis of our multifamily held-for-investment loans, by credit quality indicator, based on available data through the end of each period presented. These indicators involve significant management judgment and are defined as follows: n "Pass" is current and adequately protected by the current financial strength and debt service capacity of the borrower; n "Special mention" has administrative issues that may affect future repayment prospects but does not have current credit weaknesses. In addition, this category generally includes loans in forbearance; n "Substandard" has a weakness that jeopardizes the timely full repayment; and n "Doubtful" has a weakness that makes collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on existing conditions.

(3) As of June 30, 2020, includes $0.7 billion of multifamily loans in forbearance that are reported as current. FHFA requires us to purchase single-family loans from securities if they are delinquent for 120 days, and we have the option to purchase sooner under certain circumstances (e.g., imminent default and seller breaches of representations and warranties). We generally have been purchasing loans from securities when the loans have been delinquent for 120 days or more. In April 2020, we announced that FHFA has instructed us to maintain loans in payment forbearance plans (including COVID-19 payment forbearance plans) in mortgage-backed security pools for at least the duration of the forbearance plan. Once the forbearance period expires, the loan will remain in the related securities pool while (i) an offer to reinstate the loan or enter into either a payment deferral solution, repayment plan or a trial period plan pursuant to a loan modification remains outstanding; (ii) the loan is in an active repayment plan or trial period plan; or (iii) a payment deferral solution is in effect. Troubled Debt Restructurings A modification to the contractual terms of a loan that results in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties is considered a TDR. A concession is deemed granted when, as a result of the restructuring, we do not expect to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued, at the original contractual interest rate. As appropriate, we also consider other qualitative factors in determining whether a concession is deemed granted, including whether the borrower's modified interest rate is consistent with that of a non-troubled borrower.

GUARANTEE ACTIVITIES	Guarantees and Other Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures The table below shows our maximum exposure, recognized liability, and maximum remaining term of our guarantees to non-consolidated VIEs and other third parties. This table does not include certain of our unrecognized guarantees, such as guarantees to consolidated VIEs or to resecuritization trusts that do not expose us to incremental credit risk. The maximum exposure disclosed in the table is not representative of the actual loss we are likely to incur, based on our historical loss experience and after consideration of proceeds from related collateral liquidation, including possible recoveries under credit enhancements. See Note 6 for additional information on our credit enhancements.

For other guarantees measured at fair value, this amount represents the notional value if it relates to our market value guarantees or guarantees of third-party derivative instruments or the UPB if it relates to a guarantee of a mortgage-related asset. For certain of our other guarantees measured at fair value, our exposure may be unlimited and, as a result, the notional value is included. We generally reduce our exposure to these guarantees with unlimited exposure through separate contracts with third parties. (2) For securitization activity guarantees and other mortgage-related guarantees, this amount represents the guarantee obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and excludes our allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures. For other guarantees measured at fair value, this amount represents the fair value of the contract. The tables below show the payment status of the mortgage loans underlying our guarantees that are not measured at fair value.

(2) As of June 30, 2020, includes $7.5 billion of multifamily loans in forbearance that are reported as current. Other Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures In addition to our guarantees, we enter into other agreements that expose us to off-balance sheet credit risk, primarily related to our multifamily business, including certain purchase commitments that are not accounted for as derivative instruments, unfunded lending arrangements, and other commitments. These agreements may require us to transfer cash before or upon settlement of our contractual obligation. The total notional value of these other off-balance sheet credit exposures was $19.2 billion and $17.1 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we began recognizing an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for our guarantees that are not measured at fair value and other off-balance sheet arrangements based on expected credit losses over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk via a present contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by us. We include this allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures within other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes recognized through benefit (provision) for credit losses on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Our methodologies for estimating the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for our single-family and multifamily guarantees are generally consistent with our methodologies for estimating the allowance for credit losses for single-family mortgage loans and multifamily mortgage loans, respectively. Many of our guarantees have credit enhancement provided by subordination that exceeds the amount of expected credit losses. See Note 4 for additional information on our allowance for credit losses methodologies and Note 6 for additional information on our guarantee credit enhancements. We have not recorded an allowance for credit losses on our guarantees of Fannie Mae securities due to the support provided to Fannie Mae by the U.S. government, the importance of Fannie Mae to the liquidity and stability of the U.S. housing market, and the long history of zero credit losses on Fannie Mae securities. The table below summarizes changes in our allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Credit Enhancements [Abstract]
CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS	Credit Enhancements We obtain various forms of credit enhancements that reduce our exposure to credit losses. These credit enhancements may be associated with mortgage loans or guarantees recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets or embedded in debt recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 did not result in significant changes to our accounting policies for credit enhancements. Upon adoption of CECL, we continue to consider expected recoveries from attached credit enhancements in measuring the allowance for credit losses, resulting in a reduction in the recognized provision for credit losses by the amount of the expected recoveries. We also continue to recognize expected recoveries from freestanding credit enhancements separately in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with an offsetting reduction to non-interest expense, at the same time that we recognize an allowance for credit losses on the covered loans, measured on the same basis as the allowance for credit losses on the covered loans. See Note 6 in our 2019 Annual Report for additional information on our significant accounting policies for credit enhancements. Adoption of CECL resulted in an increase of $0.3 billion in our expected recovery receivable balance as the amount of expected recoveries from freestanding credit enhancements increased in conjunction with the increase in expected losses on the covered mortgage loans. Our freestanding credit enhancements expected recovery receivable was $1.1 billion and $0.1 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Upon adoption of CECL, we measure credit losses on our expected recovery receivables based on our estimate of current expected credit losses over the contractual term of the contract. For information about counterparty credit risk associated with mortgage insurers and other credit enhancement providers, see Note 14 .

INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES	Investment Securities The table below summarizes the fair values of our investments in debt securities by classification. Table 7.1 - Investment Securities (In millions) June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Trading securities $53,942 $49,537 Available-for-sale securities 23,960 26,174 Total fair value of investment securities $77,902 $75,711 As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we did not classify any securities as held-to-maturity, although we may elect to do so in the future. Allowance for Credit Losses On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL, which changes the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities from the other-than-temporary impairment methodology to a new methodology that uses an allowance for credit losses. We evaluate available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of the end of each quarter to determine whether the decline in value is from a credit loss or other factors. An unrealized loss exists when the fair value of an individual lot is less than its amortized cost basis. When qualitative factors indicate that a credit loss may exist, we compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. We recognize an allowance for credit losses measured as the difference between the present value of expected cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the security, limited by the amount that the security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. The present value of cash flows expected to be collected represents our best estimate of future contractual cash flows that we expect to collect, discounted at the security's implicit effective interest rate. If we intend to sell the security or we believe it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we charge-off any allowance for credit losses by writing down the security’s amortized basis to its fair value. Subsequently, increases in fair value are recognized through AOCI. However, if there are significant increases in the cash flows expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, we recognize those changes as a prospective adjustment to the yield of the security. The evaluation of whether unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities indicate a credit loss exists requires significant management judgment and assumptions and consideration of numerous factors. We perform an evaluation on a security lot basis considering all available information. The relative importance of this information varies based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each security, as well as the economic environment at the time of assessment. We present accrued interest receivable separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and accrued interest receivable is excluded for the purposes of disclosure of the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale securities. When collection of interest in full is not reasonably assured, we charge-off outstanding accrued interest receivable through interest income on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and therefore do not recognize an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable. As of June 30, 2020, no accrued interest receivable was charged-off. Agency MBS Substantially all of our available-for-sale securities are agency MBS issued by us, Fannie Mae, or Ginnie Mae. The principal and interest on these securities are guaranteed by the issuing agency. We believe that the guarantee provided by the issuing agency, the support provided to the agencies by the U.S. government, the importance of the agencies to the liquidity and stability of the U.S. housing market, and the long history of zero credit losses on agency MBS are all indicators that credit losses on these securities do not exist, even if the security is in an unrealized loss position. In addition, we generally hold these securities that are in an unrealized loss position to recovery. As a result, unless we intend to sell the security, we do not recognize an allowance for credit losses on agency MBS. Non-Agency Residential MBS We believe the unrealized losses on the non-agency RMBS we hold are mainly attributable to poor underlying collateral performance, limited liquidity, and risk premiums. In evaluating securities for credit losses, we use management judgment and historical information in considering the credit performance of the underlying collateral and incorporate assumptions about the economic environment. As of June 30, 2020, substantially all of our non-agency residential MBS were in an unrealized gain position. As a result, we have not recognized an allowance for credit losses on these securities. Trading Securities The table below presents the estimated fair values of our trading securities by major security type. Our non-mortgage-related securities primarily consist of investments in U.S. Treasury securities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES	Derivatives Use of Derivatives We use derivatives primarily to hedge interest-rate sensitivity mismatches between our financial assets and liabilities. We analyze the interest-rate sensitivity of financial assets and liabilities on a daily basis across a variety of interest-rate scenarios based on market prices, models, and economics. When we use derivatives to mitigate our exposures, we consider a number of factors, including cost, exposure to counterparty risk, and our overall risk management strategy. We classify derivatives into three categories: n Exchange-traded derivatives; n Cleared derivatives; and n OTC derivatives. Exchange-traded derivatives include standardized interest-rate futures contracts and options on futures contracts. Cleared derivatives refer to those interest-rate swaps that the CFTC has determined are subject to the central clearing requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act. OTC derivatives refer to those derivatives that are neither exchange-traded derivatives nor cleared derivatives. Types of Derivatives We principally use the following types of derivatives: n LIBOR- and SOFR-based interest-rate swaps; n LIBOR-, Treasury-, and SOFR-based purchased options (including swaptions); and n LIBOR-, Treasury-, and SOFR-based exchange-traded futures. We also purchase swaptions on credit indices in order to obtain protection against adverse movements in multifamily spreads which may affect the profitability of our K Certificate or SB Certificate transactions. In addition to swaps, futures, and purchased options, our derivative positions include written options and swaptions, and commitments. Hedge Accounting We apply fair value hedge accounting to certain single-family mortgage loans and certain issuances of debt where we hedge the changes in fair value of these items attributable to the designated benchmark interest rate (i.e., LIBOR), using LIBOR-based interest-rate swaps. If a hedge relationship qualifies for fair value hedge accounting, all changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument, including interest accruals, are recognized in the same condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) line item used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the hedged item, mortgage loans and debt, attributable to the risk being hedged are recognized in interest income - mortgage loans and interest expense, respectively, along with the changes in the fair value of the respective derivative hedging instruments. Derivative Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value The table below presents the notional value and fair value of derivatives reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Offsetting [Abstract]
COLLATERAL AND OFFSETTING OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES	Collateralized Agreements and Offsetting Arrangements Derivative Portfolio Our use of cleared derivatives, exchange-traded derivatives, and OTC derivatives exposes us to counterparty credit risk. Our use of interest-rate swaps and option-based derivatives is subject to internal credit and legal reviews. On an ongoing basis, we review the credit fundamentals of all of our derivative counterparties, clearinghouses, and clearing members to confirm that they continue to meet our internal risk management standards. Over-the-Counter Derivatives We use master netting and collateral agreements to reduce our credit risk exposure to our OTC derivative counterparties. In the event that all of our counterparties for OTC derivatives were to default simultaneously on June 30, 2020 , our maximum loss for accounting purposes after applying netting agreements and collateral on an individual counterparty basis would have been approximately $13 million . Cleared and Exchange-Traded Derivatives The majority of our interest-rate swaps are subject to the central clearing requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act. A reduction in our credit ratings could cause the clearinghouses or clearing members we use for our cleared and exchange-traded derivatives to demand additional collateral. Other Derivatives We also execute forward purchase and sale commitments of loans and mortgage-related securities, including dollar roll transactions, that are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The total net exposure on our forward purchase and sale commitments, which are treated as derivatives, was $353 million and $61 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. Many of our transactions involving forward purchase and sale commitments of mortgage-related securities utilize the Mortgage Backed Securities Division of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("MBSD/FICC") as a clearinghouse. As a clearing member of the clearinghouse, we post margin to the MBSD/FICC and are exposed to the counterparty credit risk of the organization (including its clearing members). Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell As an investor, we enter into arrangements to purchase securities under agreements to subsequently resell the identical or substantially the same securities to our counterparty. Our counterparties to these transactions are required to pledge the purchased securities as collateral for their obligation to repurchase those securities at a later date. While such transactions involve the legal transfer of securities, they are accounted for as secured financings because the transferor does not relinquish effective control over the securities transferred. These agreements may allow us to repledge all or a portion of the collateral pledged to us, and we may repledge such collateral periodically, although it is not typically our practice to repledge collateral that has been pledged to us. We consider the types of securities being pledged to us as collateral when determining how much we lend in transactions involving securities purchased under agreements to resell. Additionally, we regularly review the market values of these securities compared to amounts loaned in an effort to manage our exposure to losses, and our counterparties are typically required under contract to adjust the amount of collateral based on changes in the fair value of the collateral. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of our securities purchased under agreements to resell were fully collateralized and we expect our counterparties to continue to replenish the collateral as necessary to meet the requirements of the contract. Therefore, as of June 30, 2020, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our securities purchased under agreements to resell nor have we recognized any charge-offs of accrued interest receivable. We present accrued interest receivable separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recognized accrued interest receivable for securities purchased under agreements to resell of $4 million and $18 million , respectively. Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are effectively collateralized borrowings where we sell securities with an agreement to repurchase such securities at a future date. We are required to pledge the sold securities to the counterparties to these transactions as collateral for our repurchase obligation. Similar to the securities purchased under agreements to resell transactions, these transactions involve the legal transfer of securities. However, they are accounted for as secured financings because they require the identical or substantially the same securities to be subsequently repurchased. These agreements may allow our counterparties to repledge all or a portion of the collateral. Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities We offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting and collateral agreement. Beginning January 1, 2020, we elected to offset payables related to securities sold under agreements to repurchase against receivables related to securities purchased under agreements to resell when such amounts meet the conditions for balance sheet offsetting. Certain amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The tables below display offsetting and collateral information related to derivatives, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase which are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar arrangements.

We primarily execute securities purchased under agreements to resell transactions with central clearing organizations where we have the right to repledge the collateral that has been pledged to us, either with the central clearing organization or with other counterparties. At June 30, 2020 , and December 31, 2019 , we had $92.6 billion and $52.4 billion , respectively, of securities pledged to us in these transactions. In addition, at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , we had $0.8 billion and $2.4 billion , respectively, of securities pledged to us for transactions involving securities purchased under agreements to resell not executed with central clearing organizations that we had the right to repledge. At June 30, 2020, we repledged collateral with a fair value of $0.1 billion . Collateral Pledged Collateral Pledged to Freddie Mac We have cash pledged to us as collateral primarily related to OTC derivative transactions.

As a result of this change, we did not have a dividend requirement to Treasury in June 2020, as our Net Worth Amount of $9.5 billion as of March 31, 2020 was lower than the $20.0 billion applicable Capital Reserve Amount. As of June 30, 2020 , our assets exceeded our liabilities under GAAP; therefore, no draw is being requested from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement. Based on our Net Worth Amount of $11.4 billion as of June 30, 2020 and the applicable Capital Reserve Amount of $20.0 billion , we will not have a dividend requirement to Treasury in September 2020. See Note 2 for additional information. Our cumulative senior preferred stock dividend payments remain at $119.7 billion as of June 30, 2020. The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock owned by Treasury was $81.8 billion as of March 31, 2020. Pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will be increased, at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning on September 30, 2019, by an amount equal to the increase in the Net Worth Amount, if any, during the immediately prior fiscal quarter, until the liquidation preference has increased by $17.0 billion . During 1Q 2020, our Net Worth Amount increased by $0.4 billion . As a result, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased to $82.2 billion on June 30, 2020 , and will increase to $84.1 billion on September 30, 2020 based on the $1.9 billion The table below provides a summary of our senior preferred stock outstanding at June 30, 2020 .

During 2Q 2020, the deferral period lapsed on 351 RSUs. At June 30, 2020, 351 RSUs remained outstanding. Earnings Per Share We have participating securities related to RSUs with dividend equivalent rights that receive dividends as declared on an equal basis with common shares but are not obligated to participate in undistributed net losses. These participating securities consist of vested RSUs that earn dividend equivalents at the same rate when and as declared on common stock. Consequently, in accordance with accounting guidance, we use the "two-class" method of computing earnings per common share. The "two-class" method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic earnings per common share is computed as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the period includes the weighted average number of shares that are associated with the warrant for our common stock issued to Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. These shares are included since the warrant is unconditionally exercisable by the holder at a minimal cost. Diluted earnings per common share is computed as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding. For periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the calculation includes the effect of the weighted-average of RSUs. During periods in which a net loss attributable to common stockholders has been incurred, potential common equivalent shares outstanding are not included in the calculation because it would have an antidilutive effect. Dividends and Dividend Restrictions No common dividends were declared during YTD 2020. As a result of the increase in the applicable Capital Reserve Amount pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, we did not declare or pay a dividend on the senior preferred stock during YTD 2020. We also did not declare or pay dividends on any other series of Freddie Mac preferred stock outstanding during YTD 2020. Our payment of dividends on Freddie Mac common stock or any series of Freddie Mac preferred stock (other than senior preferred stock) is subject to certain restrictions as described in Note 11 in our 2019 Annual Report.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	Income Taxes Income Tax Expense For 2Q 2020 and 2Q 2019, we reported income tax expense of $458 million and $392 million , respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.5% and 20.7% , respectively. For YTD 2020 and YTD 2019, we reported income tax expense of $503 million and $750 million , respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.5% for both periods. Our effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate of 21% in these periods primarily due to our recognition of low income housing tax credits and tax-exempt interest income. Deferred Tax Assets, Net We had net deferred tax assets of $5.7 billion and $5.9 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. At June 30, 2020 , our net deferred tax assets consisted primarily of basis differences related to derivative instruments and deferred fees. Based on all positive and negative evidence available at June 30, 2020 , we determined that it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets, except for a portion of the deferred tax asset related to our capital loss carryforward, will be realized. As of June 30, 2020 , we have a $37 million valuation allowance recorded against our capital loss carryforward deferred tax asset. Unrecognized Tax Benefits We evaluated all income tax positions and determined that there were no uncertain tax positions that required reserves as of June 30, 2020 . We are under IRS examination for tax years 2013 through 2016 related to the carryback of 2016 capital losses to the prior three years.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT REPORTING	Segment Reporting We have three reportable segments, which are based on the type of business activities each performs - Single-family Guarantee, Multifamily, and Capital Markets. Material corporate-level activities that are infrequent in nature and based on decisions outside the control of the management of our reportable segments are included in the All Other category. For more information, see our 2019 Annual Report. Segment Earnings We present Segment Earnings by reclassifying certain credit guarantee-related activities and investment-related activities between various line items on our GAAP condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and allocating certain revenues and expenses, including certain returns on assets, funding and hedging costs, and administrative expenses, to our three reportable segments. We do not consider our assets by segment when evaluating segment performance or allocating resources. We operate our business in the United States and its territories, and accordingly, we generate no revenue from and have no long-lived assets, other than financial instruments, in geographic locations other than the United States and its territories. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on a Segment Earnings approach, subject to the conduct of our business under the direction of the Conservator. See Note 2 The table below presents Segment Earnings by segment.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND OTHER RISKS	Concentration of Credit and Other Risks Single-Family Credit Guarantee Portfolio The table below summarizes the concentration by loan portfolio and geographic area of the approximately $2.1 trillion and $2.0 trillion UPB of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. See Note 4 and Note 7 for more information about credit risk associated with loans and mortgage-related securities that we hold or guarantee.

(2) Credit Performance of Certain Higher Risk Single-Family Loan Categories Participants in the mortgage market have characterized single-family loans based upon their overall credit quality at the time of origination, including as prime or subprime. Mortgage market participants have classified single-family loans as Alt-A if these loans have credit characteristics that range between their prime and subprime categories, if they are underwritten with lower or alternative income or asset documentation requirements compared to a full documentation loan, or both. Although we discontinued new purchases of loans with lower documentation standards beginning March 1, 2009, we continued to purchase certain amounts of these loans in cases where the loan was either: n Purchased pursuant to a previously issued other mortgage-related guarantee; n Part of our relief refinance initiative; or n In another refinance loan initiative and the pre-existing loan (including Alt-A loans) was originated under less than full documentation standards. In the event we purchase a refinance loan and the original loan had been previously identified as Alt-A, such refinance loan may no longer be categorized or reported as Alt-A in the table below because the new refinance loan replacing the original loan would not be identified by the seller/servicer as an Alt-A loan. As a result, our reported Alt-A balances may be lower than would otherwise be the case had such refinancing not occurred. Although we do not categorize single-family loans we purchase or guarantee as prime or subprime, we recognize that there are a number of loan types with certain characteristics that indicate a higher degree of credit risk. For example, a borrower's credit score is a useful measure for assessing the credit quality of the borrower. Statistically, borrowers with higher credit scores are more likely to repay or have the ability to refinance than those with lower scores. The CARES Act requires our servicers to report to credit bureaus that loans in mortgage relief programs, such as forbearance plans, repayment plans, and loan modification programs, are current as long as the loans were current prior to entering into the mortgage relief programs and the borrowers remain in compliance with the programs. This credit reporting requirement applies to all mortgage relief programs entered into between January 31, 2020 and July 25, 2020. Presented below is a summary of the serious delinquency rates of certain higher-risk categories (based on characteristics of the loan at origination) of loans in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio. The table includes a presentation of each higher-risk category in isolation. A single loan may fall within more than one category (for example, an interest-only loan may also have an original LTV ratio greater than 90%). Loans with a combination of these attributes will have an even higher risk of delinquency than those with an individual attribute. Table 14.2 - Certain Higher Risk Categories in Our Single-Family Credit Guarantee Portfolio Percentage of Portfolio (1) Serious Delinquency Rate (1) (Percentage of portfolio based on UPB) June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Interest-only — % 1 % 6.51 % 2.72 % Alt-A 1 1 7.70 3.75 Original LTV ratio greater than 90% (2) 17 18 3.58 0.96 Lower credit scores at origination (less than 620) 2 2 8.86 4.52 (1) Excludes loans underlying certain other securitization products for which data was not available. (2) Sellers and Servicers We are exposed to counterparty credit risk arising from the potential insolvency or non-performance by our sellers and servicers of their obligations to repurchase loans or (at our option) indemnify us in the event of breaches of the representations and warranties they made when they sold the loans to us or failure to comply with our servicing requirements. The ultimate amounts of recovery payments we receive from seller/servicers related to their repurchase obligations may be significantly less than the amount of our estimates of potential exposure to losses. Our exposure to seller/servicers for their repurchase obligations is considered in our allowance for credit losses. See Note 4 for further information. Sellers We acquire a significant portion of our single-family and multifamily loan purchase volume from several large sellers. The tables below summarize the concentration of single-family and multifamily sellers who provided 10% or more of our purchase volume during YTD 2020 or YTD 2019. Table 14.3 - Seller Concentration Single-family Sellers (1) YTD 2020 YTD 2019 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. 7 % 16 % United Shore Financial Services, LLC 7 10 Other top 10 sellers 32 31 Top 10 single-family sellers 46 % 57 % Multifamily Sellers (1) YTD 2020 YTD 2019 Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC 15 % 15 % CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. 14 19 Other top 10 sellers 48 46 Top 10 multifamily sellers 77 % 80 % (1) Sellers presented based on those with the highest percentage of purchase volume during YTD 2020. In recent years, there has been a shift in our single-family purchase volume from depository institutions to non-depository and smaller depository financial institutions. Some of these non-depository sellers have grown in recent years, and we purchase a significant share of our loans from them. Our top five non-depository sellers provided approximately 24% and 27% Servicers Significant portions of our single-family and multifamily loans are serviced by several large servicers. The tables below summarize the concentration of single-family and multifamily servicers who serviced 10% or more of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio and multifamily mortgage portfolio as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Table 14.4 - Servicer Concentration Single-family Servicers (1) June 30, 2020 (2) December 31, 2019 (2) Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 14 % 15 % JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. 9 10 Other top 10 servicers 31 32 Top 10 single-family servicers 54 % 57 % Multifamily Servicers (1)(3) June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. 17 % 17 % Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC 13 13 Other top 10 servicers 46 46 Top 10 multifamily servicers 76 % 76 % (1) Servicers presented based on those with the highest percentage of servicing volume as of June 30, 2020. (2) Percentage of servicing volume is based on the total single-family credit guarantee portfolio, which includes loans where we do not exercise servicing control. However, loans where we do not exercise servicing control are not included for purposes of determining the concentration of servicers who serviced more than 10% of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio. (3) Represents multifamily primary servicers. In recent years, there has been a shift in our single-family servicing from depository institutions to non-depository servicers. Some of these non-depository servicers have grown in recent years and now service a large share of our loans. As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , approximately 18% of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio, excluding loans where we do not exercise control over the associated servicing, was serviced by our five largest non-depository servicers, on a combined basis. We routinely monitor the performance of our largest non-depository servicers. For our mortgage-backed securities, we guarantee the payment of principal and interest, and when the underlying borrowers do not pay their mortgages, our Guide generally requires single-family servicers to advance the missed mortgage interest payments for up to 120 days. After this time, Freddie Mac will make the missed mortgage principal and interest payments to security holders until the mortgages are no longer held by the securitization trust. At the instruction of FHFA, we generally have been purchasing loans from securities when the loans have been delinquent for 120 days or more. After the outbreak of COVID-19, FHFA further instructed us to maintain loans in COVID-19 payment forbearance plans in the securitization trusts for at least the duration of the forbearance. Once the forbearance period expires, the loan will remain in the related securities pool while (i) an offer to reinstate the loan or enter into either a payment deferral solution, repayment plan or a trial period plan pursuant to a loan modification remains outstanding; (ii) the loan is in an active repayment plan or trial period plan; or (iii) a payment deferral solution is in effect. In addition to principal and interest payments, borrowers are also responsible for other expenses such as property taxes and homeowner's insurance premiums. When borrowers do not pay these expenses, our Guide generally requires single-family servicers to advance the funds for these expenses in order to protect or preserve our interest in or legal right to the properties. These advances are ultimately collectible from the borrowers. If the borrowers reperform through loan workout activities, the missed payments and incurred expenses will be collected from the borrowers. If the borrowers ultimately default, we will reimburse the servicers for the advanced amounts upon foreclosure or a foreclosure alternative. In March 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic evolved rapidly, liquidity concerns primarily regarding non-depository financial institutions arose as market conditions changed and borrowers affected by COVID-19 were offered widespread forbearance, including forbearance on loans purchased and securitized by Freddie Mac. The increase in delinquency volume and the obligation for single-family servicers to continue to advance funds during the forbearance period as discussed above may increase liquidity pressures on certain of our counterparties. In response to these potential liquidity concerns, we have heightened our monitoring and review of the financial stability of our non-depository institutional counterparties. Multifamily primary servicers included in the table above present potential operational risk and impact to the borrowers if the servicing needs to be moved to another servicer. We also have exposure to the master servicers of our multifamily securitization transactions who bear responsibility to advance funds in the event of payment shortfalls, including principal and interest payments related to loans in forbearance. In the majority of our primary multifamily securitizations, we utilize one of three large financial depository institutions, except for small balance loan securitizations where we serve as master servicer. In instances where payment shortfalls occur, the master servicer is required to make advances as long as such advances have not been deemed non-recoverable. For multifamily loans purchased and held in our mortgage-related investments portfolio, the primary servicers are not required to advance funds in the event of payment shortfalls and therefore do not present significant counterparty credit risk. Credit Enhancement Providers We have counterparty credit risk relating to the potential insolvency of, or non-performance by, mortgage insurers that insure single-family loans we purchase or guarantee. We also have similar exposure to insurers and reinsurers through our ACIS and other insurance transactions where we purchase insurance policies as part of our CRT activities. In March 2019, we implemented a set of revised Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs) with enhancements to the risk-based capital requirements for mortgage insurers. In addition, we revised master policies with mortgage insurers which provide contract certainty and improve our ability to collect claims for mortgage insurance obligations. These policies were approved by FHFA and became effective on March 1, 2020. We evaluate the expected recovery and collectability from mortgage insurers as part of the estimate of our allowance for credit losses. See Note 4 for additional information. As of June 30, 2020 , mortgage insurers provided coverage with maximum loss limits of $108.1 billion , for $427.0 billion of UPB, in connection with our single-family credit guarantee portfolio. These amounts are based on gross coverage without regard to netting of coverage that may exist to the extent an affected loan is covered under other types of insurance. Changes in our expectations related to recovery and collectability from our credit enhancement providers may affect our estimates of expected credit losses, perhaps significantly. The table below summarizes the concentration of mortgage insurer counterparties who provided 10% or more of our overall mortgage insurance coverage. On October 23, 2016, Genworth Financial, Inc. announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by China Oceanwide Holdings Group Co., Ltd. Because Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, a subsidiary of Genworth Financial, Inc., is an approved mortgage insurer, Freddie Mac evaluated the planned acquisition and approved China Oceanwide Holdings Group's control of Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation. In January 2020, Freddie Mac reapproved the acquisition. Regulatory and other approvals of the acquisition are still pending.

During both YTD 2020 and YTD 2019, we received proceeds of $0.1 billion from our mortgage insurance policies for recovery of losses on our single-family loans. We had outstanding receivables from mortgage insurers of $0.1 billion (excluding deferred payment obligations associated with unpaid claim amounts) as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . The balance of these receivables, net of associated reserves, was approximately $0.1 billion at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. and Triad Guaranty Insurance Corp. are both under the control of their state regulators and are in run-off. A substantial portion of their claims is recorded by us as deferred payment obligations. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , we had cumulative unpaid deferred payment obligations of $0.4 billion and $0.5 billion , respectively, from these insurers. We have reserved substantially all of these unpaid amounts as collectability is uncertain. It is not clear how the regulators of these companies will administer their respective deferred payment plans in the future, nor when or if those obligations will be paid. As part of our insurance/reinsurance CRT transactions, we regularly obtain insurance coverage from insurers and reinsurers. These transactions incorporate several features designed to increase the likelihood that we will recover on the claims we file with the insurers and reinsurers, including the following: n In each transaction, we require the individual insurers and reinsurers to post collateral to cover portions of their exposure, which helps to promote certainty and timeliness of claim payment and n While private mortgage insurance companies are required to be monoline (i.e., to participate solely in the mortgage insurance business, although the holding company may be a diversified insurer), many of our insurers and reinsurers in these transactions participate in multiple types of insurance business, which helps diversify their risk exposure. Other Investments Counterparties We are exposed to the non-performance of counterparties relating to other investments (including non-mortgage-related securities and cash equivalents) transactions, including those entered into on behalf of our securitization trusts. Our policies require that the counterparty be evaluated using our internal counterparty rating model prior to our entering into such transactions. We monitor the financial strength of our counterparties to these transactions and may use collateral maintenance requirements to manage our exposure to individual counterparties. The permitted term and dollar limits for each of these transactions are also based on the counterparty's financial strength. Our other investments (including non-mortgage-related securities and cash equivalents) counterparties are primarily major financial institutions, including other GSEs, Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, GSD/FICC, highly-rated supranational institutions, depository and non-depository institutions, brokers and dealers, and government money market funds. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , including amounts related to our consolidated VIEs, the balance in our other investments was $155.6 billion and $103.6 billion , respectively. The balances consist primarily of cash, securities purchased under agreements to resell invested with counterparties, U.S. Treasury securities, cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and secured lending activities. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $0.8 billion and $2.4 billion , respectively, of our securities purchased under agreements to resell were used to provide financing to investors in Freddie Mac securities to increase liquidity and expand the investor base for those securities. These transactions differ from the securities purchased under agreements to resell that we use for liquidity purposes as the counterparties we face may not be major financial institutions and we are exposed to the counterparty risk of these institutions.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES	Fair Value Disclosures The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. This guidance applies whenever other accounting guidance requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. We use fair value measurements for the initial recording of certain assets and liabilities and periodic remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair Value Measurements The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows in priority order: n Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. n Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. n Level 3 - one or more inputs to the valuation technique are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. We use quoted market prices and valuation techniques that seek to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Our inputs are based on the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The tables below present our assets and liabilities measured on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition, including instruments where we have elected the fair value option.

and level of activity in the market and availability of price quotes from dealers and third-party pricing services. Certain Freddie Mac securities are classified as Level 3 at issuance and generally are classified as Level 2 when they begin trading. Transfers into Level 3 during 2Q 2020 and YTD 2020 and 2Q 2019 and YTD 2019 consisted primarily of certain mortgage-related securities due to a decrease in market activity and the availability of relevant price quotes from dealers and third-party pricing services. (2) Amounts are the net of derivative assets and liabilities prior to counterparty netting, cash collateral netting, net trade/settle receivable or payable, and net derivative interest receivable or payable.

This amount includes any allowance for credit losses recorded on available-for-sale securities and amortization of basis adjustments.

(2) Unobservable inputs were weighted primarily by the relative fair value of the financial instruments. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair-value accounting or measurement of impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Certain of the fair values in the tables below were not obtained as of the period end, but were obtained during the period. The table below presents assets measured on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Table 15.4 - Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (In millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis: Mortgage loans (1) $— $789 $5,781 $6,570 $— $22 $4,059 $4,081 (1) Includes loans that are classified as held-for-investment and have been measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral and held-for-sale loans where the fair value is below cost.

For certain types of financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, securities purchased under agreements to resell, secured lending and other, and certain debt, the carrying value on our GAAP balance sheets approximates fair value, as these assets and liabilities are short-term in nature and have limited fair value volatility.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES	Legal Contingencies We are involved as a party in a variety of legal and regulatory proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business including, among other things, contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employment-related litigation, and other legal proceedings incidental to our business. We are frequently involved, directly or indirectly, in litigation involving mortgage foreclosures. From time to time, we are also involved in proceedings arising from our termination of a seller's or servicer's eligibility to sell loans to, and/or service loans for, us. In these cases, the former seller or servicer sometimes seeks damages against us for wrongful termination under a variety of legal theories. In addition, we are sometimes sued in connection with the origination or servicing of loans. These suits typically involve claims alleging wrongful actions of sellers and servicers. Our contracts with our sellers and servicers generally provide for indemnification of Freddie Mac against liability arising from sellers' and servicers' wrongful actions with respect to loans sold to or serviced for Freddie Mac. Litigation and claims resolution are subject to many uncertainties and are not susceptible to accurate prediction. In accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies, we reserve for litigation claims and assessments asserted or threatened against us when a loss is probable (as defined in such guidance) and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Putative Securities Class Action Lawsuit: Ohio Public Employees Retirement System vs. Freddie Mac, Syron, Et Al. This putative securities class action lawsuit was filed against Freddie Mac and certain former officers on January 18, 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of Freddie Mac stock from August 1, 2006 through November 20, 2007. FHFA later intervened as Conservator, and the plaintiff amended its complaint on several occasions. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements concerning our business, risk management, and the procedures we put into place to protect the company from problems in the mortgage industry. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and interest, and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney and expert fees. In October 2013, defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. In October 2014, the District Court granted defendants' motions and dismissed the case in its entirety against all defendants, with prejudice. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On July 20, 2016, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court's dismissal and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 14, 2018, the District Court denied the plaintiff's motion for class certification. On January 23, 2019, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiff's petition for leave to appeal that decision. At present, it is not possible for us to predict the probable outcome of this lawsuit or any potential effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. In addition, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss in the event of an adverse judgment in the foregoing matter due to the following factors, among others: pre-trial litigation is inherently uncertain; while the District Court denied plaintiff's motion for class certification, this denial may be appealed upon the entry of final judgment; and the District Court has not yet ruled upon motions for summary judgment. In particular, absent a final resolution of whether a class will be certified, the identification of a class if one is certified, and the identification of the alleged statement or statements that survive dispositive motions, we cannot reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of possible loss. LIBOR Lawsuit On March 14, 2013, Freddie Mac filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the British Bankers Association and the 16 U.S. Dollar LIBOR panel banks and a number of their affiliates. The case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants fraudulently and collusively depressed LIBOR, a benchmark interest rate indexed to trillions of dollars of financial products, and asserts claims for antitrust violations, breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, and fraud. Freddie Mac filed an amended complaint in July 2013, and a second amended complaint in October 2014. In August 2015, the District Court dismissed the portion of our claim related to antitrust violations and fraud and we filed a motion for reconsideration. On March 31, 2016, the District Court granted a portion of our motion, finding personal jurisdiction over certain defendants, and denied the portion of our motion with respect to statutes of limitation for our fraud claims. Subsequently, in a related case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the District Court's dismissal of certain plaintiffs' antitrust claims and remanded the case to the District Court for consideration of whether, among other things, the plaintiffs are "efficient enforcers" of the antitrust laws. On December 20, 2016, after briefing and argument on the defendants' renewed motions to dismiss on personal jurisdiction and efficient enforcer grounds, the District Court denied defendants' motions in part and granted them in part. The District Court held that Freddie Mac is an efficient enforcer of the antitrust laws, but dismissed on personal jurisdiction grounds Freddie Mac's antitrust claims against all defendants except HSBC USA, N.A. Then, in an order issued February 2, 2017, the District Court effectively dismissed Freddie Mac's remaining antitrust claim against HSBC USA, N.A. At present, Freddie Mac's breach of contract actions against Bank of America, N.A., Barclays Bank, Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, and UBS AG are its only claims remaining in the District Court. On February 23, 2018, the Second Circuit reversed the District Court's dismissal of certain plaintiffs' state law fraud and unjust enrichment claims on statutes of limitations grounds. While Freddie Mac was not a party to the appeal, this decision could have the effect of reinstating Freddie Mac's fraud claims against the above-named defendants. The Second Circuit also reversed certain aspects of the District Court's personal jurisdiction rulings and remanded with instructions to allow the named appellant to amend its complaint. The District Court subsequently granted in part Freddie Mac's motion for leave to amend its complaint, and Freddie Mac amended its complaint on April 16, 2019. Litigation Concerning the Purchase Agreement Since July 2013, a number of lawsuits have been filed against us concerning the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, which created the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock. The plaintiffs in the lawsuits allege that they are holders of common stock and/or junior preferred stock issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. (For purposes of this discussion, junior preferred stock refers to the various series of preferred stock of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae other than the senior preferred stock issued to Treasury.) It is possible that similar lawsuits will be filed in the future. The lawsuits against us are described below. Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class Action Litigations. This case is the result of the consolidation of three putative class action lawsuits: Cacciapelle and Bareiss vs. Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and FHFA , filed on July 29, 2013; American European Insurance Company vs. Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and FHFA , filed on July 30, 2013; and Marneu Holdings, Co. vs. FHFA, Treasury, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation , filed on September 18, 2013. (The Marneu case was also filed as a shareholder derivative lawsuit.) A consolidated amended complaint was filed in December 2013. In the consolidated amended complaint, plaintiffs alleged, among other items, that the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement breached Freddie Mac's and Fannie Mae's respective contracts with the holders of junior preferred stock and common stock and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing inherent in such contracts. Plaintiffs sought unspecified damages, equitable and injunctive relief, and costs and expenses, including attorney and expert fees. The Cacciapelle and American European Insurance Company lawsuits were filed purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of junior preferred stock issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae who held stock prior to, and as of, August 17, 2012. The Marneu lawsuit was filed purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of junior preferred stock and purchasers of common stock issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae over a not-yet-defined period of time. Arrowood Indemnity Company vs. Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, FHFA, and Treasury. This case was filed on September 20, 2013. The allegations and demands made by plaintiffs in this case were generally similar to those made by the plaintiffs in the In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class Action Litigations case described above. Plaintiffs in the Arrowood lawsuit also requested that, if injunctive relief were not granted, the Arrowood plaintiffs be awarded damages against the defendants in an amount to be determined including, but not limited to, the aggregate par value of their junior preferred stock, the total of which they stated to be approximately $42 million . American European Insurance Company, Cacciapelle, and Miller vs. Treasury and FHFA. This case was filed as a shareholder derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac as a "nominal" defendant, on July 30, 2014. The complaint alleged that, through the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, Treasury and FHFA breached their respective fiduciary duties to Freddie Mac, causing Freddie Mac to suffer damages. The plaintiffs asked that Freddie Mac be awarded compensatory damages and disgorgement, as well as attorneys' fees, costs, and other expenses. FHFA, joined by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, moved to dismiss the In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class Action Litigations case and the other related cases in January 2014. Treasury filed a motion to dismiss the same day. In September 2014, the District Court granted the motions and dismissed the plaintiffs' claims. All plaintiffs appealed that decision, and on February 21, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed in part and remanded in part the decision granting the motions to dismiss. The Court of Appeals affirmed dismissal of all claims except certain claims seeking monetary damages for breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. In March 2017, certain institutional and class plaintiffs filed petitions for panel rehearing with respect to certain claims. On July 17, 2017, the Court of Appeals granted the petitions for rehearing and issued a modified decision, which permitted the institutional plaintiffs to pursue the breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing claims that had been remanded. The Court of Appeals also removed language related to the standard to be applied to the implied duty claims, leaving that issue for the District Court to determine on remand. On October 16, 2017, certain institutional and class plaintiffs filed petitions for a writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging whether HERA's prohibition on injunctive relief against FHFA bars judicial review of the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, as well as whether HERA bars shareholders from pursuing derivative litigation where they allege the conservator faces a conflict of interest. The Supreme Court denied the petitions on February 20, 2018. On November 1, 2017, certain institutional and class plaintiffs and plaintiffs in another case in which Freddie Mac was not originally a defendant, Fairholme Funds, Inc. v. FHFA, Treasury, and Federal National Mortgage Association , filed proposed amended complaints in the District Court. Each of the proposed amended complaints names Freddie Mac as a defendant for breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing claims as well as for new claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty and breach of Virginia corporate law. On January 10, 2018, FHFA, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae moved to dismiss the amended complaints. On September 28, 2018, the District Court dismissed all of the claims except those alleging breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Discovery is ongoing. Angel vs. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation et al. This case was filed pro se on May 21, 2018 against Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, certain current and former directors of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and FHFA as a nominal defendant. The original complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and that defendants aided and abetted the government's "avoidance" of plaintiff's dividend rights. On March 6, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the case. On March 18, 2019, Mr. Angel filed a motion seeking to alter or amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended complaint. On May 24, 2019, the District Court denied Mr. Angel's motion, and on June 19, 2019, Mr. Angel filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On April 24, 2020, the DC Circuit affirmed the District Court's dismissal of the case. Litigation in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims Reid and Fisher vs. the United States of America and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This case was filed as a derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac as a "nominal" defendant, on February 26, 2014. The complaint alleges, among other items, that the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock constitute an unlawful taking of private property for public use without just compensation. The plaintiffs ask that Freddie Mac be awarded just compensation for the U.S. government's alleged taking of its property, attorneys' fees, costs, and other expenses. On March 8, 2018, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint under seal, with a redacted copy filed on November 14, 2018. The United States filed a motion to dismiss on August 1, 2018 and an amended motion to dismiss on October 1, 2018. The court denied the motion to dismiss on May 8, 2020 and granted plaintiffs' motion to certify the decisions for interlocutory appeal on June 11, 2020. Fairholme Funds, Inc., et al. vs. the United States of America, Federal National Mortgage Association, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This case was originally filed on July 9, 2013 against the United States of America. On March 8, 2018, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint under seal. A redacted public version was filed on May 11, 2018 and adds Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as nominal defendants. The amended complaint alleges, among other items, that the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock constitute an unlawful taking or exaction of private property for public use without just compensation, and that by enacting the net worth sweep, the government breached the fiduciary duty it owed to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and implied-in-fact contracts between the United States on the one hand and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae on the other. The plaintiffs ask that plaintiffs, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae be awarded (1) just compensation for the government's alleged taking or exaction of their property, (2) damages for the government's breach of fiduciary duties, and (3) damages for the government's breach of the alleged implied-in-fact contracts. In addition, plaintiffs seek pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys' fees, costs, and other expenses. The United States filed a motion to dismiss on August 1, 2018 and an amended motion to dismiss on October 1, 2018. On December 6, 2019, the Court dismissed the claims plaintiffs labeled as direct claims and denied defendant's motion to dismiss with respect to the claims plaintiffs labeled as derivative. Accordingly, derivative takings, exaction, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of implied-in-fact contract claims remain. By order dated March 9, 2020, the Court granted unopposed motions by plaintiffs and defendant to certify the December 6 opinion for interlocutory review, modified its December 6 opinion to include the language necessary for an interlocutory appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and stayed further proceedings in the case pending the completion of the interlocutory appeal process. The Federal Circuit granted the petition for interlocutory appeal on June 18, 2020. Perry Capital LLC vs. the United States of America, Federal National Mortgage Association, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This case was filed as a derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as "nominal" defendants, on August 15, 2018. The complaint alleges, among other items, that the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock constitute an unlawful taking of private property for public use without just compensation or an illegal exaction in violation of the Fifth Amendment, and that by enacting the net worth sweep, the government breached the fiduciary duty it owed to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and implied-in-fact contracts between the United States on the one hand and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae on the other. The plaintiff asks that it, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae be awarded just compensation for the government's alleged taking of its property or damages for the illegal exaction; damages for the government's breach of fiduciary duties; and damages for the government's breach of the alleged implied-in-fact contracts. The proceedings have been stayed pending the appeals in the Fairholme Funds matter. At present, it is not possible for us to predict the probable outcome of the lawsuits discussed above in the U.S. District Courts and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (including the outcome of any appeal) or any potential effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. In addition, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss in the event of an adverse judgment in the foregoing matters due to a number of factors, including the inherent uncertainty of pre-trial litigation. In addition, with respect to the In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class Action Litigations case, the plaintiffs have not demanded a stated amount of damages they believe are due, and the Court has not certified a class.

REGULATORY CAPITAL	Regulatory Capital In October 2008, FHFA announced that it was suspending capital classification of us during conservatorship in light of the Purchase Agreement. FHFA continues to monitor our capital levels, but the existing statutory and FHFA regulatory capital requirements are not binding during conservatorship. We continue to provide quarterly submissions to FHFA on minimum capital. The table below summarizes our minimum capital requirements and deficits and net worth. Table 17.1 - Net Worth and Minimum Capital (In millions) June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 GAAP net worth (deficit) $11,442 $9,122 Core capital (deficit) (1)(2) (62,254 ) (63,964 ) Less: Minimum capital requirement (1) 20,230 19,123 Minimum capital surplus (deficit) (1) ($82,484 ) ($83,087 ) (1) Core capital and minimum capital figures are estimates and represent amounts submitted to FHFA. FHFA is the authoritative source for our regulatory capital. (2) Core capital excludes certain components of GAAP total equity (i.e., AOCI and senior preferred stock) as these items do not meet the statutory definition of core capital. In May 2017, FHFA, as Conservator, issued guidance to us to evaluate and manage our financial risk and to make economic business decisions, while in conservatorship, utilizing a newly-developed risk-based CCF, a capital system with detailed formulae provided by FHFA. We use the CCF to measure risk for making economically effective decisions. We are required to submit quarterly reports to FHFA related to the CCF requirements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include our accounts as well as the accounts of other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We are operating under the basis that we will realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business as a going concern and in accordance with the authority provided by FHFA to our Board of Directors to oversee management's conduct of our business operations. Certain amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. See Note 1 in our 2019 Annual Report for additional information on these reclassifications. In the opinion of management, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our results. Beginning January 1, 2020, we elected to offset payables related to securities sold under agreements to repurchase against receivables related to securities purchased under agreements to resell, when such amounts meet the conditions for balance sheet offsetting under GAAP. Certain amounts in prior periods' condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. See Note 10 in this Form 10-Q for additional information. We evaluate the materiality of identified errors in the financial statements using both an income statement, or "rollover," and a balance sheet, or "iron curtain," approach, based on relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The financial statements include certain adjustments to correct immaterial errors related to previously reported periods.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses during the reporting period. Management has made significant estimates in preparing the financial statements for establishing the allowance for credit losses and valuing financial instruments and other assets and liabilities. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy	Securitization Activities and Consolidation
Mortgage Loans Policy	We own both single-family loans, which are secured by one- to four-unit residential properties, and multifamily loans, which are secured by properties with five or more residential rental units. Our single-family loans are predominantly first lien, fixed-rate loans secured by the borrower's primary residence. We do not typically acquire loans that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination as of our acquisition date, although we may acquire such loans in connection with certain of our securitization activities or other mortgage-related guarantees. In addition, in April 2020, we announced that we would temporarily purchase certain single-family mortgage loans that have entered into forbearance as a result of borrower hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our purchases of such loans have been insignificant. Upon acquisition, we classify a loan as either held-for-investment or held-for-sale based on our intent with respect to the loan. Loans that we have the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future, including loans held by consolidated trusts and loans we intend to securitize using an entity we will consolidate, are classified as held-for-investment. Loans that we intend to sell are classified as held-for-sale. Held-for-investment loans for which we have not elected the fair value option are reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost basis, net of the allowance for credit losses. The amortized cost basis is based on a loan’s outstanding UPB, net of deferred fees and other cost basis adjustments (including unamortized premiums and discounts, upfront fees, commitment-related derivative basis adjustments, fair value hedge accounting adjustments, and other pricing adjustments), excluding accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable for both held-for-investment and held-for-sale loans is separately presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and excluded for the purposes of disclosure of the amortized cost basis of mortgage loans held-for-investment. Held-for-sale loans for which we have not elected the fair value option are reported at lower-of-cost-or-fair-value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any excess of a held-for-sale loan's cost over its fair value is recognized as a valuation allowance in investment gains (losses), net on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), with subsequent changes in this valuation allowance also being recorded in investment gains (losses), net. Premiums, discounts, and other cost basis adjustments (including lower-of-cost-or-fair-value adjustments) are deferred and not amortized. We elect the fair value option for certain multifamily loans that are originally classified as held-for-sale. Loans for which we have elected the fair value option are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with subsequent gains or losses related to changes in fair value reported in investment gains (losses), net on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). All fees, upfront costs, and other cost basis adjustments are recognized in earnings as incurred. Cash flows related to loans originally classified as held-for-investment are classified as either investing activities (e.g., principal repayments) or operating activities (e.g., interest payments received from borrowers included within net income (loss)) on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows related to loans originally classified as held-for-sale are classified as operating activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Nonaccrual Loan Policy	We recognize interest income on an accrual basis except when we believe the collection of principal and interest in full is not reasonably assured, which generally occurs when a loan is three monthly payments or more past due, at which point we place the loan on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection based upon an individual loan assessment. A loan is considered past due if a full payment of principal and interest is not received within one month of its due date. We charge off outstanding accrued interest receivable through interest income when loans are placed on non-accrual status and recognize interest income on a cash basis while a loan is on non-accrual status. Cost basis adjustments on held-for-investment loans are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. No amortization is recognized during periods in which a loan is on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status when the collectability of principal and interest in full is reasonably assured. For single-family loans, we generally determine that collectability is reasonably assured when the loan returns to current payment status. For multifamily loans, the collectability of principal and interest is considered reasonably assured based on an analysis of the factors specific to the loan being assessed. Upon a loan's return to accrual status, all previously reversed interest income is recognized and amortization of any basis adjustments into interest income is resumed. We make an exception to our standard non-accrual policy for loans in active COVID-19-related forbearance plans that were current prior to receiving forbearance and do not place such loans on non-accrual status based solely on delinquency status. For these loans, we consider additional factors, such as current LTV ratio, and continue to accrue interest while the loan is in forbearance and is three or more monthly payments past due when we believe the available evidence indicates that collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured. When we accrue interest on loans that are three or more monthly payments past due, we measure an allowance for expected credit losses on unpaid accrued interest receivable balances such that the balance sheet reflects the net amount of interest we expect to collect.
Allowance for Credit Losses Policy	Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we measure an allowance for credit losses on cash equivalents based on expected credit losses over the contractual term of the instrument. As of June 30, 2020, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our cash equivalents due to their overall high credit quality and short-term nature. We estimate the allowance for credit losses for single-family loans on a pooled basis using a discounted cash flow model that evaluates a variety of factors to estimate the cash flows we expect to collect. If we determine that foreclosure on the underlying collateral is probable, we measure the allowance for credit losses for single-family loans based upon the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, adjusted for estimated proceeds from attached credit enhancements. The discounted cash flow model we use to estimate the single-family loan allowance for credit losses forecasts cash flows over the loan’s remaining contractual life, adjusted for expectations of prepayments and TDRs we reasonably expect will occur. We do not have a reasonable and supportable forecast period beyond which we revert to historical loss information. Cash flow estimates are discounted at the loan’s prepayment-adjusted effective interest rate. For adjustable-rate loans, forecasts are adjusted for projections in the underlying benchmark interest rate. For both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, we forecast cash flows we expect to collect using our historical experience, such as historical default rates and severity of loss based on loan characteristics, adjusted for current and future economic forecasts, such as current and projected house price appreciation and interest rate forecasts, and estimated recoveries from loss mitigation activities, attached credit enhancements, and disposition of collateral, less estimated disposition costs. We calculate the allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable based on similar default rate assumptions to those used for the related loans. We calculate the allowance for credit losses for advances of pre-foreclosure costs based on the amounts we expect to collect using our historical experience such as historical default rates. Allowance for Credit Losses On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL. The objective of CECL is to recognize an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from or added to the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under CECL, an allowance for credit losses is recognized before a loss event has been incurred, which results in earlier recognition of credit losses compared to the previous incurred loss methodology. Our allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans pertains to all single-family and multifamily loans classified as held-for-investment for which we have not elected the fair value option. We recognize changes in the allowance for credit losses by recording a provision for credit losses (or reversal of a provision for credit losses) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We measure the allowance for credit losses on a collective basis when our loans share similar risk characteristics. We record charge-offs in the period in which a loan is deemed uncollectible. Proceeds received in excess of amounts previously written off are recorded as a decrease to REO operations expense on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We may incur expenses related to a mortgage loan subsequent to its original acquisition but prior to foreclosure (pre-foreclosure costs). These expenses are generally to protect or preserve our interest or legal right in or to the property prior to foreclosure, such as property taxes or homeowner's insurance premiums owed by the borrower. Many of these expenses are advanced by the servicer and are reimbursable from the borrower. If the borrower ultimately defaults, we reimburse the servicer for the advances it has made. Upon advance by the servicer, we recognize a receivable for the amounts due from the borrower and a payable for amounts due to the servicer. We recognize an allowance for credit losses for amounts that we do not ultimately expect to collect from the borrower (allowance for credit losses on pre-foreclosure costs). Our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 did not result in significant changes to our accounting policies for credit enhancements. Upon adoption of CECL, we continue to consider expected recoveries from attached credit enhancements in measuring the allowance for credit losses, resulting in a reduction in the recognized provision for credit losses by the amount of the expected recoveries. We also continue to recognize expected recoveries from freestanding credit enhancements separately in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with an offsetting reduction to non-interest expense, at the same time that we recognize an allowance for credit losses on the covered loans, measured on the same basis as the allowance for credit losses on the covered loans. See Note 6 in our 2019 Annual Report for additional information on our significant accounting policies for credit enhancements. Adoption of CECL resulted in an increase of $0.3 billion in our expected recovery receivable balance as the amount of expected recoveries from freestanding credit enhancements increased in conjunction with the increase in expected losses on the covered mortgage loans. Our freestanding credit enhancements expected recovery receivable was $1.1 billion and $0.1 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Upon adoption of CECL, we measure credit losses on our expected recovery receivables based on our estimate of current expected credit losses over the contractual term of the contract. For information about counterparty credit risk associated with mortgage insurers and other credit enhancement providers, see Note 14 . Allowance for Credit Losses On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL, which changes the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities from the other-than-temporary impairment methodology to a new methodology that uses an allowance for credit losses. We evaluate available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of the end of each quarter to determine whether the decline in value is from a credit loss or other factors. An unrealized loss exists when the fair value of an individual lot is less than its amortized cost basis. When qualitative factors indicate that a credit loss may exist, we compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. We recognize an allowance for credit losses measured as the difference between the present value of expected cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the security, limited by the amount that the security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. The present value of cash flows expected to be collected represents our best estimate of future contractual cash flows that we expect to collect, discounted at the security's implicit effective interest rate. If we intend to sell the security or we believe it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we charge-off any allowance for credit losses by writing down the security’s amortized basis to its fair value. Subsequently, increases in fair value are recognized through AOCI. However, if there are significant increases in the cash flows expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, we recognize those changes as a prospective adjustment to the yield of the security.
Troubled Debt Restructuring	Troubled Debt Restructurings A modification to the contractual terms of a loan that results in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties is considered a TDR. A concession is deemed granted when, as a result of the restructuring, we do not expect to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued, at the original contractual interest rate. As appropriate, we also consider other qualitative factors in determining whether a concession is deemed granted, including whether the borrower's modified interest rate is consistent with that of a non-troubled borrower. We do not consider restructurings that result in an insignificant delay in payment to be a concession. We generally consider a delay in monthly amortizing payments of three months or less to be insignificant. A concession typically includes one or more of the following being granted to the borrower: n A trial period where the expected permanent modification will change our expectation of collecting all amounts due at the original contract rate; n A delay in payment that is more than insignificant; n A reduction in the contractual interest rate; n Interest forbearance for a period of time that is more than insignificant or forgiveness of accrued but uncollected interest amounts; n Principal forbearance that is more than insignificant; and n Discharge of the borrower's obligation in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Loan Reclassifications Change, Policy	We reclassify loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale when we no longer have both the intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future. Upon reclassification from held-for-investment to held-for-sale, we perform a collectability assessment. When we determine that a loan to be transferred has experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, the excess of the loan’s amortized cost basis over its fair value is written off against the allowance for credit losses prior to the transfer. For all other loans, upon a transfer from held-for-investment to held-for-sale, we reverse the loan’s existing allowance for credit losses, if any, and establish a held-for-sale valuation allowance if the loan’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. We reclassify loans from held-for-sale to held-for-investment when we have both the intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future. Upon a loan reclassification from held-for-sale to held-for-investment, we reverse the loan’s held-for-sale valuation allowance, if any, and establish an allowance for credit losses as needed.
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties Policies	We generate revenue through our guarantee activities by agreeing to absorb the credit risk associated with certain financial instruments that are owned or held by third parties. In exchange for providing this guarantee, we generally receive an ongoing guarantee fee that is commensurate with the risks assumed and that will, over the long-term, provide us with cash flows that are expected to exceed the credit-related and administrative expenses of the underlying financial instruments. The profitability of our guarantee activities may vary and will be dependent on our guarantee fee and the actual credit performance of the underlying financial instruments that we have guaranteed.
Allowance for Credit Losses on off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure, Policy	Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we began recognizing an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for our guarantees that are not measured at fair value and other off-balance sheet arrangements based on expected credit losses over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk via a present contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by us. We include this allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures within other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes recognized through benefit (provision) for credit losses on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Derivatives, Methods of Accounting, Hedging Derivatives	We apply fair value hedge accounting to certain single-family mortgage loans and certain issuances of debt where we hedge the changes in fair value of these items attributable to the designated benchmark interest rate (i.e., LIBOR), using LIBOR-based interest-rate swaps. If a hedge relationship qualifies for fair value hedge accounting, all changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument, including interest accruals, are recognized in the same condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) line item used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the hedged item, mortgage loans and debt, attributable to the risk being hedged are recognized in interest income - mortgage loans and interest expense, respectively, along with the changes in the fair value of the respective derivative hedging instruments.
Repurchase and Resale Agreements Policy	Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell As an investor, we enter into arrangements to purchase securities under agreements to subsequently resell the identical or substantially the same securities to our counterparty. Our counterparties to these transactions are required to pledge the purchased securities as collateral for their obligation to repurchase those securities at a later date. While such transactions involve the legal transfer of securities, they are accounted for as secured financings because the transferor does not relinquish effective control over the securities transferred. These agreements may allow us to repledge all or a portion of the collateral pledged to us, and we may repledge such collateral periodically, although it is not typically our practice to repledge collateral that has been pledged to us. We consider the types of securities being pledged to us as collateral when determining how much we lend in transactions involving securities purchased under agreements to resell. Additionally, we regularly review the market values of these securities compared to amounts loaned in an effort to manage our exposure to losses, and our counterparties are typically required under contract to adjust the amount of collateral based on changes in the fair value of the collateral. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of our securities purchased under agreements to resell were fully collateralized and we expect our counterparties to continue to replenish the collateral as necessary to meet the requirements of the contract. Therefore, as of June 30, 2020, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our securities purchased under agreements to resell nor have we recognized any charge-offs of accrued interest receivable. We present accrued interest receivable separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recognized accrued interest receivable for securities purchased under agreements to resell of $4 million and $18 million , respectively. Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are effectively collateralized borrowings where we sell securities with an agreement to repurchase such securities at a future date. We are required to pledge the sold securities to the counterparties to these transactions as collateral for our repurchase obligation. Similar to the securities purchased under agreements to resell transactions, these transactions involve the legal transfer of securities. However, they are accounted for as secured financings because they require the identical or substantially the same securities to be subsequently repurchased. These agreements may allow our counterparties to repledge all or a portion of the collateral.
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings Per Share We have participating securities related to RSUs with dividend equivalent rights that receive dividends as declared on an equal basis with common shares but are not obligated to participate in undistributed net losses. These participating securities consist of vested RSUs that earn dividend equivalents at the same rate when and as declared on common stock. Consequently, in accordance with accounting guidance, we use the "two-class" method of computing earnings per common share. The "two-class" method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic earnings per common share is computed as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the period includes the weighted average number of shares that are associated with the warrant for our common stock issued to Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. These shares are included since the warrant is unconditionally exercisable by the holder at a minimal cost. Diluted earnings per common share is computed as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding. For periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the calculation includes the effect of the weighted-average of RSUs. During periods in which a net loss attributable to common stockholders has been incurred, potential common equivalent shares outstanding are not included in the calculation because it would have an antidilutive effect.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. This guidance applies whenever other accounting guidance requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. We use fair value measurements for the initial recording of certain assets and liabilities and periodic remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair Value Measurements The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows in priority order: n Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. n Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. n Level 3 - one or more inputs to the valuation technique are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. We use quoted market prices and valuation techniques that seek to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Our inputs are based on the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Multifamily The table below presents the amortized cost basis of our multifamily held-for-investment loans, by credit quality indicator, based on available data through the end of each period presented. These indicators involve significant management judgment and are defined as follows: n "Pass" is current and adequately protected by the current financial strength and debt service capacity of the borrower; n "Special mention" has administrative issues that may affect future repayment prospects but does not have current credit weaknesses. In addition, this category generally includes loans in forbearance; n "Substandard" has a weakness that jeopardizes the timely full repayment; and n "Doubtful" has a weakness that makes collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on existing conditions.

Table - TDR Activity	The table below presents the volume of single-family and multifamily loans that were newly classified as TDRs, based on the original product category of the loan before the loan was classified as a TDR. Loans classified as a TDR in one period may be subject to further action (such as a modification or remodification) in a subsequent period. In such cases, the subsequent action would not be reflected in the table below since the loan would already have been classified as a TDR.

(2) Consists of single-family loans covered by financial arrangements (other than primary mortgage insurance) that are designed to reduce our credit risk exposure. See Note 6 for additional information on our credit enhancements. (3)
Table - Payment Status of Mortgage Loans	Past Due Status The tables below present the amortized cost basis of our single-family and multifamily loans, held-for-investment, by payment status. Pursuant to FHFA guidance and the CARES Act, we offer mortgage relief options for borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, we are offering forbearance to single-family and multifamily borrowers experiencing a financial hardship, either directly or indirectly, related to COVID-19. We report single-family loans in forbearance as past due during the forbearance period to the extent that payments are past due based on the loan's original contractual terms, irrespective of the forbearance agreement, based on the information reported to us by our servicers. We report multifamily loans in forbearance as current as long as the borrower is in compliance with the forbearance agreement, including the agreed upon repayment plan. As a result, all multifamily loans in forbearance are reported as current in the tables below, even if payments are past due based on the loan's original contract terms. Table 4.9 - Amortized Cost Basis of Held -for-Investment Loans by Payment Status June 30, 2020 (In millions) Current One Month Past Due Two Months Past Due Three Months or More Past Due, or in Foreclosure (1) Total Three Months or More Past Due, and Accruing Non-accrual With No Allowance (2) Single-family: 20- and 30-year or more, amortizing fixed-rate $1,635,356 $23,630 $32,285 $47,381 $1,738,652 $37,452 $493 15-year amortizing fixed-rate 256,539 2,060 2,932 3,228 264,759 2,649 6 Adjustable-rate 30,623 403 641 862 32,529 711 5 Alt-A, interest-only, and option ARM 10,110 518 549 1,099 12,276 571 103 Total single-family 1,932,628 26,611 36,407 52,570 2,048,216 41,383 607 Total multifamily (3) 20,143 — — — 20,143 — — Total single-family and multifamily $1,952,771 $26,611 $36,407 $52,570 $2,068,359 $41,383 $607 December 31, 2019 (In millions) Current One Two Three Months or (1) Total Non-accrual Single-family: 20- and 30-year or more, amortizing fixed-rate $1,653,113 $15,481 $3,326 $5,348 $1,677,268 $5,822 15-year amortizing fixed-rate 242,177 1,131 175 240 243,723 252 Adjustable-rate 36,537 238 45 89 36,909 104 Alt-A, interest-only, and option ARM 12,690 489 161 417 13,757 205 Total single-family 1,944,517 17,339 3,707 6,094 1,971,657 6,383 Total multifamily 17,489 — — — 17,489 13 Total single-family and multifamily $1,962,006 $17,339 $3,707 $6,094 $1,989,146 $6,396 (1) Includes $1.4 billion and $1.8 billion of single-family loans that were in the process of foreclosure as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. (2) Loans with no allowance primarily represent those loans that were previously charged-off and therefore the collateral value is sufficiently in excess of the amortized cost to result in recovery of the entire amortized cost basis if the property were foreclosed upon or otherwise subject to disposition. (3) As of June 30, 2020, includes $0.7 billion of multifamily loans in forbearance that are reported as current. FHFA requires us to purchase single-family loans from securities if they are delinquent for 120 days, and we have the option to purchase sooner under certain circumstances (e.g., imminent default and seller breaches of representations and warranties). We generally have been purchasing loans from securities when the loans have been delinquent for 120 days or more. In April 2020, we announced that FHFA has instructed us to maintain loans in payment forbearance plans (including COVID-19 payment forbearance plans) in mortgage-backed security pools for at least the duration of the forbearance plan. Once the forbearance period expires, the loan will remain in the related securities pool while (i) an offer to reinstate the loan or enter into either a payment deferral solution, repayment plan or a trial period plan pursuant to a loan modification remains outstanding; (ii) the loan is in an active repayment plan or trial period plan; or (iii) a payment deferral solution is in effect.

Table - Financial Guarantees	The table below shows our maximum exposure, recognized liability, and maximum remaining term of our guarantees to non-consolidated VIEs and other third parties. This table does not include certain of our unrecognized guarantees, such as guarantees to consolidated VIEs or to resecuritization trusts that do not expose us to incremental credit risk. The maximum exposure disclosed in the table is not representative of the actual loss we are likely to incur, based on our historical loss experience and after consideration of proceeds from related collateral liquidation, including possible recoveries under credit enhancements. See Note 6 for additional information on our credit enhancements.

For other guarantees measured at fair value, this amount represents the notional value if it relates to our market value guarantees or guarantees of third-party derivative instruments or the UPB if it relates to a guarantee of a mortgage-related asset. For certain of our other guarantees measured at fair value, our exposure may be unlimited and, as a result, the notional value is included. We generally reduce our exposure to these guarantees with unlimited exposure through separate contracts with third parties. (2) For securitization activity guarantees and other mortgage-related guarantees, this amount represents the guarantee obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and excludes our allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures. For other guarantees measured at fair value, this amount represents the fair value of the contract.
