  Can they "keep it quiet?" I'm sorry about your husband's job...I would just do everything to assure them that you can afford the house payments.

  If you didn't report your husbands income when applying for the loan, I wouldn't think it should be an issue.  If his income was being used to show you could afford the loan, then it'll be an issue.

  When you sign papers at closing, you are going to have to confirm that all of the work & financial information that you provided when you applied for the loan is still true and correct. 
  
  If you did not provide any of your husband's job information, or earnings to apply for your loan, then you shouldn't worry that it will affect your loan approval.  If it wasn't a factor to begin with, then it won't change anything at all. 
  
  HOWEVER - you still need to let your loan officer know that his employer has changed.  Even if his financial information wasn't factored in to the loan, it is possible that somewhere on a document, his employer might be listed (I doubt it, but just in case), and that information will need to be updated BEFORE closing.  It's better to be safe, than sorry, and you don't want some silly hiccup to delay your closing at the very last minute.

  This. I doubt it will be an issue but it's better that they hear it from you. They called my employer the day before closing to confirm my employment, although my income was considered.
