Re: Structured Asset Securities Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed November 4, 2005 File No. 333-129480

Dear Mr. Zusy:

We have limited our review of your filing for compliance with Regulation AB. Please further note that our limited review only covers the issues that we have addressed in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.

Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

General 1. Please note that our comments to either the base prospectus and/or the supplements should be applied universally, if applicable. Accordingly, if comments issued for one apply to another, make conforming revisions as appropriate. Please confirm to us in your response that you will comply with this instruction.

2. We note in various sections of the base prospectus statements such as "unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement," which appears to indicate that the specific terms you describe in the base prospectus will be different in the prospectus supplement. However, the disclosure in the prospectus supplement should not contradict the disclosure in the base prospectus. For instance, refer to the disclosure under "The Trust Funds," at page 45, "The Mortgage Loans," at page 47, and "Pre-Funding Arrangements," at page 66. Such language will permit some supplemental or modified terms of the transaction, but should not be construed as creating the ability to add asset types or structural features in a takedown that were not otherwise contemplated by and described in the base prospectus. Refer to the last paragraph in Section III.A.3.b. of the ABS Adopting Release for Regulation AB (Release Nos. 33-8518; 34-50905). Please disclose all assets, structural features, and credit enhancements that you reasonably contemplate including in the ABS offering in the base prospectus. To the extent practicable, please replace phrases like "unless the prospectus supplement says otherwise," with bracketed disclosure showing the variations you intend. Please confirm your understanding or revise as necessary. 3. Please confirm that the depositor or any issuing entity previously established, directly or indirectly, by the depositor or any affiliate of the depositor have been current with Exchange Act reporting during the last twelve months with respect to asset-backed securities involving the same asset class. Please refer to General Instruction I.A.4. of Form S-3. Also, please provide us with the CIK codes for any affiliate of the depositor that has offered a class of asset- backed securities involving the same asset class as this offering. 4. Please add a reasonably detailed table of contents to the base prospectus to assist investors in locating relevant disclosure on the offered securities. Refer to Item 502 of Regulation S-K. 5. Please include a separately captioned section and disclose any legal proceedings pending against the sponsor, seller, servicer, depositor, trustees, issuing entity or other transaction parties that would be material to investors, if applicable. Refer to Item 1117 of Regulation AB. 6. Please add a separately captioned section to disclose the affiliations and certain relationships and related transactions of the transaction parties referred to in Item 1119 of Regulation AB. 7. We note that your base prospectus indicates that the trusts may include mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, and asset-backed securities backed by assets of the type described in the base prospectus. However, it does not appear to us that any of the provided prospectus supplements contemplate an offering of securities backed by a pool of other securities. Rather, they all appear to contemplate the securitization of mortgages or home-equity loans. Please refer to Section III.A.3(b) of SEC Release No. 33-8518 and tell us why you have not provided us with a form of prospectus supplement that outlines the format of deal-specific information regarding any offerings of securities backed by pools of the securities to which you refer in the base prospectus. In this regard, we note that appropriate information regarding the transaction parties, deal structure and asset pool does not appear to have been provided. Please also refer to Rule 190 under the Securities Act and see the related comment below. 8. If practicable, please provide us with black-line copies of the prospectus supplements against just one of the supplements to aid us in our review or explain to us why you believe the selected black- line submissions are illustrative of all the different supplements. 9. In this regard, for our review, please label, or indicate in some other manner, which supplements correspond with each base prospectus. For instance, the memo dated November 18, 2005 lists the different supplements that correspond with each base. In your next submission, please label each supplement in some manner to help us easily determine what each form of supplement is. 10. It appears to us that you do not contemplate a takedown that includes both non-HELOC and HELOC residential mortgage loans. Please advise us if this is correct. Please tell us why you did not include a base prospectus with securities backed by only HELOC loans.

Prospectus Supplement No. 1

Cover Page 11. Please use bracketed language on the cover page to indicate that you will disclose the name of the issuing entity when known. 12.

the supplements should be applied universally, if applicable.
Accordingly, if comments issued for one apply to another, make
conforming revisions as appropriate.  Please confirm to us in your

2. We note in various sections of the base prospectus statements
such

which
appears to indicate that the specific terms you describe in the

prospectus will be different in the prospectus supplement.
However,
the disclosure in the prospectus supplement should not contradict
the

at page 47, and "Pre-Funding Arrangements," at page 66.  Such
language
will permit some supplemental or modified terms of the

but should not be construed as creating the ability to add asset

that
would be material to investors, if applicable.  Refer to Item 1117
of
Regulation AB.
6. Please add a separately captioned section to disclose the
affiliations and certain relationships and related transactions of
the
transaction parties referred to in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.

or Ginnie Mae, and asset-backed securities backed by assets of the
type described in the base prospectus.  However, it does not
appear to
us that any of the provided prospectus supplements contemplate an

some
other manner, which supplements correspond with each base
prospectus.
For instance, the memo dated November 18, 2005 lists the different

determine what each form of supplement is.
10. It appears to us that you do not contemplate a takedown that
