Step 2: Lenders must then enter the eligible amount of the loan which is the lesser of:

- the "eligible proof of payment", as determined in step 1 above, and
- the "maximum financing", which is determined by calculating:
90% of "eligible cost" - loans made after December 31, 1995
100% of "eligible cost" - loans made after March 31, 1993
80%/90% (refer to legislation) of "eligible cost" - loans made before April 1, 1993.
