SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60 days was published on July 6,
2023 at 88 FR 43135.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Mortgage Insurance Termination.
Application for Premium Refund, Tracer Claimant Refund Case
Request.
OMB Approval Number: 2502-0414.
OMB Expiration Date: 12/31/2023.
Type of Request: Revision of currently approved OMB collection.
Form Number: Mortgage Insurance Termination HUD-27050-A is
submitted electronically; Application for Premium Refund HUD-27050-B.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Mortgage Insurance Termination information is used by servicing
mortgagees to comply with HUD requirements for reporting termination of
FHA mortgage insurance. This information is used whenever FHA mortgage
insurance is terminated and no claim for insurance benefits will be
filed. This information is submitted on the internet or via EDI and is
used to issue mortgage insurance premium (MIP) refunds directly to
eligible claimants. This condition occurs when the form passes the
criteria of certain system edits. As a result, the system generates a
disbursement to the eligible claimant for the refund consisting of the
unused portion of the paid premium. The information collected is used
to update HUD's Single Family Insurance System. The billing of mortgage
insurance premiums is discontinued as a result of the transaction.
Without this information, the premium collection/monitoring function
would be severely impeded and program data would be unreliable.
Currently when the form is processed but does not pass the criteria in
the series of system edits, the system generates the HUD 27050-B
Application for Premium Refund for the claimant to complete and return
to HUD for further processing of the refund. In general, a Premium
Refund is the difference between the amount of prepaid premium and the
amount of the premium that has been earned by HUD up to the time the
mortgage is terminated. The Tracer Claimant Refund Case Request is used
to collect information on the claimant from the tracer.
