The annual MIP rate reduction is effective for FHA
Case Numbers assigned on and after January 26, 2015
for most Title II forward mortgages with amortization
terms greater than 15 years.
Today’s Mortgagee Letter includes a table which shows
the current and new annual MIP rates by amortization term,
base loan amount, and loan-to-value ratio.
The rate reductions have also been incorporated into FHA’s
Mortgage Insurance Premiums table for forward mortgages.
This updated
Mortgage Insurance Premiums
table will be integrated into FHA’s
Single Family Housing Policy Handbook (HUD Handbook 4000.1)
at the next available update.
Temporary Case Cancellation Authority
FHA will temporarily approve Case Number Cancellation Requests for loans with FHA Case Numbers assigned but not yet closed, to allow mortgagees to obtain the reduced annual MIP rates. Mortgagees must submit Case Number Cancellation Requests under this temporary authority using the submission instructions specific to this temporary authority posted today on FHA’s
Case Processing Requirements web page.
Mortgagees may begin requesting Case Number cancellations on January 15, 2015, but must submit all Case Number Cancellation Requests under this temporary authority by 11:59 p.m., Eastern, on February 26, 2015. Mortgagees should not order new Case Numbers under this temporary authority until they have confirmed in FHA Connection that the previous Case Number has been cancelled.
