Hi pinolisa,
Since you have got a job now, the lender might not be willing to offer you a loan modification plan. You can still try and work out a plan with them and send them a hardship letter explaining your hardship. If there is enough equity, you can also try and refinance to a lower interest rate. But with a low home value, that does not seem to be an open option.

If your husband lost hisjob,but you are still working there is a good possibility of getting your loan modification.
You need to show to your lender that you have problem makign payments.
Call them when you loan is due for the month. Its hard to talk to them when your payment is current. Use the 15 days grace priod for ayemnt to delay your payment. This way you are not affecting your credit score, btu also making them to talk.

Some of the lender do approve you in such a scenario.. most of them right now are focusing on people who are behind. You can speak to your lender, see what they say.
Other thing is, if they decline your request, its not the end of the world. You can contact a 3rd party company and see if they can convince your lender. Its all on how you present them your case.
Feel free to ask any questions or get a free consultation.
