When the terms of a Multifamily
contract are breached or when a mortgagee meets conditions stated
within the Multifamily contract for an automatic assignment, the
holder of the mortgage may file for insurance benefits. To receive
these benefits, the mortgagee must prepare and submit to HUD the
Multifamily Insurance Benefits Claims Package. HUD uses the
information collection to determine the insurance benefits owed to
the mortgagee.
This is an extension of
currently approved collection. There is a change to the number of
respondents from 125 to 110 and total annual hours due to the
decrease in the number of FHA insurance claims. Currently, there
are no changes to the program, but the industry is considering
comments for recommended future program changes. The decrease in
responses and burden is a result of a decrease in program
participation.
