Works with your own VA LGY Hub account. Fous is an independent product.

## What you can build on LGY Hub

### Look up a Veteran's COE status

Opens Search/Automated Certificate of Eligibility in WebLGY, enters the Veteran's SSN and year of birth, and reads the status of the COE or eligibility record.

- Takes: Veteran SSN, year of birth
- Returns: COE status (Approved, Pending or Unsuccessful), status detail, whether an existing eligibility record is on file

### Read the Validate Users list

Opens Admin > Validate Users in WebLGY and reads the next 15-day validation window and the users listed for you to validate.

- Takes: Nothing
- Returns: Next validation window, each listed user's details as shown

### Read users awaiting activation

Opens Admin > Activate Users in WebLGY and reads the new lender or servicer users who registered in LGY Hub and are waiting for your activation.

- Takes: Nothing
- Returns: Each waiting user's details as shown

### Submit an electronic COE application

Starts from Search/Automated Certificate of Eligibility and completes the electronic COE application when ACE cannot issue the COE immediately.

- Takes: Veteran SSN, year of birth, personal and contact details, COE mailing and email address, Active/Reserve Tour answers
- Returns: COE status after submission

## Automate LGY Hub with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### Pending COEs that VA has decided, every morning

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00

1. For each Veteran in your pipeline, look up the COE status in Search/Automated Certificate of Eligibility.
2. Keep the Veterans whose status changed since the last run.
3. Email you the list with your loan reference and the old and new status for each Veteran.

### 90-day user validation, before the window closes

Starts: Every Monday at 9:00

1. Read the Validate Users list in WebLGY's Admin menu.
2. Stop the run when no users are listed.
3. Email you the validation window and the users listed for validation.

### New users waiting for activation, posted to your IT queue

Starts: Every weekday at 10:00

1. Read the Activate Users list in WebLGY's Admin menu.
2. Keep the users who were not there on the last run.
3. Post each new user's details, as the page shows them, to your ticketing system's webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Look up a Veteran's COE status” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "lgy.va.gov/get_coe_status",
    "input": {
      "veteran_ssn": "000-00-0000",
      "year_of_birth": "1984"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "status": "Pending",
    "status_detail": "Awaiting Supporting Documentation",
    "existing_eligibility_record_on_file": true
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## LGY Hub’s own options

VA's developer portal lists three Loan Guaranty APIs. The Loan Review API is in production and is the required way to send Full File Loan Review documents; the Guaranty Remittance API is listed as sandbox only. The portal lists no API for COE searches or WebLGY user administration, which are done in WebLGY.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Loan Review API | Sends post-close Full File Loan Review documents with the ULAD and UCD datasets to VA. Required for loans selected for FFLR since November 4, 2024. | A production API account (Portal ID), requested by your Lender Admin in the LGY Help Center with your 10-digit home office lender ID. |
| Guaranty Remittance API | Checks a pre-close loan against VA policy, submits a closed loan for guaranty and returns the Loan Guaranty Certificate. | Listed on VA's developer portal as available only in sandbox. |
| Loan Guaranty API | Uploads a property's appraisal score report and gets its status. | Your Loan Guaranty service account connected to the API. |
| WebLGY by hand | COE search and applications, the Admin menu's Activate Users and Validate Users, and the rest of WebLGY, one Veteran or screen at a time. | Your own LGY Hub account, signed in with ID.me, activated by your company's Lender/Servicer Admin. |

## Signing in to LGY Hub

LGY Hub signs external users in through AccessVA with ID.me: an email address and password, then a second step by text message, authentication app, voice call or a U2F security key. Each person needs their own account. With Fous you sign in through LGY Hub's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API, and never seen by your code or AI agents.

## Worth knowing

- **FFLR files go through the API only**: Since November 4, 2024, LGY no longer accepts Full File Loan Review files uploaded to WebLGY Correspondence. FFLR documents must be sent with the Loan Review API, with a 100 MB limit per file.
- **Two 90-day rules keep accounts alive**: A user who does not log in to LGY Hub for 90 days is deactivated. Your Lender/Servicer Admin must also validate every user every 90 days, in a 15-day window shown on Validate Users.
- **Do not resubmit a Pending COE**: A Pending COE (Awaiting Supporting Documentation) must not be applied for again, and VA notifies you by email. When ACE cannot issue the COE, a Regional Loan Center decides within 5 business days.
- **Releases take WebLGY offline at night**: For LGY Release 27.0.1 on November 12, 2026, LGY Hub and WebLGY are unavailable from 9:00 p.m. EST until the release is complete. Keep scheduled workflows clear of release evenings.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does VA LGY Hub have an API?

Partly. VA's developer portal lists the Loan Review API, which is in production and required for Full File Loan Review documents, the Guaranty Remittance API, listed as sandbox only, and the Loan Guaranty API for appraisal score reports. COE searches and WebLGY user administration are done in WebLGY.

### How do I get a VA Loan Guaranty API production account?

Your Lender Admin opens a case in the LGY Help Center with 'API Support' as the product and 'Request API Production Account' as the category, giving the 10-digit home office lender ID and an email address. An API account with no request for 90 days is deactivated.

### What do the COE statuses in WebLGY mean?

WebLGY shows one of three: Approved (Ready to Issue), Pending (Awaiting Supporting Documentation) or Unsuccessful (Requires Manual Processing). VA notifies you by email, and you should not submit a new application while one is pending.

### Why was my LGY Hub account deactivated?

Usually because you did not log in for 90 days, or your admin did not validate you in the 90-day review. Lenders and servicers reactivate with their Affiliate ID and PIN. After a Help Desk reactivation, you must log in within 24 hours.

### Is Fous affiliated with the US Department of Veterans Affairs?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own LGY Hub account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of VA LGY Hub (US Department of Veterans Affairs). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
