Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the Reconciliation file?

The Reconciliation file provides information about your FHA cases that are unreconciled from the prior billing period.

Where can I retrieve my Reconciliation files?

Reconciliation information is available via the FHA Connection on the World Wide Web or the Frame Relay Network (for large volume mortgagees). 

Do you have access to the FHA Connection? If not, please refer to Mortgagee Letter 97-33 (July 24, 1997) for information about gaining access. After signing on to the FHA Connection, select Single Family FHA, followed by Single Family Servicing, then Monthly Premiums. Select the Retrieve Files button to access your files.

Can I retrieve Reconciliation files from previous months?

What do I do with the Reconciliation file? Should we indicate what should be changed and return it to HUD?

You should take appropriate action to correct whatever appears on your Reconciliation file. Do not return it to HUD with changes.
