Single Family Premium Collection Subsystem - Periodic (SFPCS-P)

GETTING PREGENERATED MONTHLY (PERIODIC) MORTGAGE INSURANCE
PREMIUM REPORTS USING THE ALTERNATE REPORT RETRIEVAL
PROCESS
Overview
These instructions are for lenders and service bureaus that choose to retrieve pregenerated Single Family monthly (periodic)
mortgage insurance premium report files directly from a secure server on the HUD network using the Alternate Report Retrieval
process (secure file transfer protocol) rather than using the FHA Connection.
To request access to report files, please email your request to the [email protected] mailbox with the following
information:
• Company name and five-digit lender ID
• Primary business and technical contact names with email
• The public-facing IP address and city/state location for each IP address that will require firewall whitelisting by HUD. Please
specify "test" or "production" environment for each IP address listed (e.g. 123.123.123.123 - McLean. VA - Production)
• The name of the reports being requested. Available reports include: Advance Notices, Billing, Lender Notification, Portfolio,
Reallocation Transactions, Reconciliation, and Refund Transactions.
After your request has been received by HUD and processed, HUD will issue the lender or service bureau a unique six character ID
beginning with the letter X(e.g., X00001) and a password.
Note: This is a different HUD Xnnnnn ID than the one issued for making monthly premium payments through CPU to CPU batch
file transmissions to a secure HUD server.
The letulPrfir-c-Pruit'a-hurPrin must test the report retrieval process on HUD's Test platform. Instructions will be provided. When the
test
regenerated report files can be retrieved from HUD's Production platform.
