serve as collateral for FHLB Chicago advances.
2. The FHLB Chicago reviews the application for completeness.
3. Once the application is complete, FHLB Chicago staff determines whether the institution meets all statutory eligibility requirements and underwriting review standards. If additional justification is necessary, FHLB Chicago staff works with the institution to obtain it.
