Office of the Assistant

ACTION: Notice.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On June 18, 2014, the Federal
Housing Administration (FHA) issued
Mortgagee Letter 2014–11, announcing a
limit on the insurability of fixed interest
rate mortgages under the HECM
program to mortgages with the Single
Disbursement Lump Sum payment
option. FHA issued this Mortgagee
Letter pursuant to the authority granted
to it in subsections 202(a) and 255(c) of
the National Housing Act and in the
Reverse Mortgage Stabilization Act of
2013 to make this change to the HECM
program. The limitation on the
eligibility for insurance of fixed interest
rate mortgages is necessary in order to
ensure the financial viability of the
HECM program and the Mutual
Mortgage Insurance Fund (Fund). These
changes took effect for case numbers
assigned on or after June 25, 2014. This
notice solicits comment for a period of
30 days on the new requirements
announced in Mortgagee Letter
2014–11.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
1, 2014, Ginnie Mae issued an All
Participants Memorandum (APM)
announcing that fixed interest rate
HECM loans with future draws will be
ineligible for securitization through
Ginnie Mae programs on or after June 1,
2014. The only fixed interest rate HECM
product that will be eligible for
securitization through Ginnie Mae
programs will be mortgages with the
Single Disbursement Lump Sum
payment option selected at closing,
which was the option that was
introduced with the September 30,
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2013, program changes. As a result of
this change, risk to FHA and the Fund
would be increased if FHA were to
allow for these other fixed rate products
to continue to be eligible for insurance.
The Secretary has a responsibility to
ensure that the Fund remains
financially sound under subsection
202(a)(3) of the National Housing Act
(12 U.S.C. 1708) and the authority to
insure HECMs upon such terms and
conditions as he may prescribe to the
extent that he determines such
mortgages have potential for acceptance
in the mortgage market under
subsection 255(c)(3) of the National
Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z–20).
Therefore, to address the increased risk
that would be borne by FHA and the
Fund as a result of Ginnie Mae’s APM,
HUD issued Mortgagee Letter 2014–11,1
which requires all fixed interest rate
HECMs to have the Single Disbursement
Lump Sum payment option and
prevents future draws to the mortgagor
after closing. The Reverse Mortgage
Stabilization Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113–
29), which amended section 255 of the
National Housing Act by adding a new
subsection (h)(3), gives FHA the
authority to establish, by notice or
mortgagee letter, any additional or
alternative requirements that the
Secretary, in the Secretary’s discretion,
determines are necessary to improve the
fiscal safety and soundness of the HECM
program authorized by section 255 of
the National Housing Act.
Comments on the changes announced
in Mortgagee Letter 2014–11 will be
accepted for a period of 30 days.2
Dated: July 1, 2014.
Carol J. Galante,
Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal
Housing Commissioner.
