FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part III — f. Payment Administration (04/29/2024)
f. Payment Administration (04/29/2024) i. Receipt of Payments (A) Definition Payments are any funds remitted to the Mortgagee to reduce the balance owed under the HECM. (B) Standard The Mortgagee must either use a Trust Clearing Account or special custodial account to hold all payments on the insured Mortgage. The Mortgagee’s Trust Clearing Account may be used for collections received on all types of Mortgages. If a Trust Clearing Account is not used, the Mortgagee must immediately transfer payments into a special custodial account. ii. Application of Payments Mortgagees must apply Borrower payments in the following order: • to MIPs due, if any; • to servicing fees, if any; • to interest on the Mortgage; and • to the principal of the Mortgage. iii. Trustee’s Fees for Satisfactions If specifically provided for in the security instrument, the Mortgagee may charge the Borrower the amount of the trustee’s fee, plus any reasonable and customary fees for payment, or for the execution of a satisfaction, release, or trustee’s deed when the debt is paid in full. iv. Recording Fees for Satisfactions The Mortgagee may charge the Borrower a reasonable and customary fee for recording satisfactions in states where recordation is not the responsibility of the Mortgagee.
Operationalizing FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part III
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
