typically, once a loan is in review for a workout a status is placed on the account putting the foreclosure on hold. This allows negotiators the opportunity to review to see what type of a workout to allow.
You must remember lenders are the ones offering the help it is voluntary and they do not have to offer loss mitigation. So a lender can foreclose but it is usually not in their best interest.

If the lender learns the modification is not actual or only being done to buy time they can foreclose and it's not against the law.
