The HECM reverse mortgage application
and related documents are used to determine the eligibility of the
borrower and proposed mortgage transaction for FHA insurance
endorsement. This submission is a consolidation of additional
consumer notification requirements formerly approved under
2502-0534 and 2502-0546.
The previous submission
indicated a decreased loan volume as the result of the issuance of
the aforementioned Mortgagee Letters. Thus, this revised submission
further reduces the Total Annual Responses from 100,000 to
80,000.
