This information collection is used as a "turnaround" document by mortgage lenders to request extension of time and for HUD to provide a response. For audit purposes, regulations require mortgagees to maintain claim files for three years after a claim is paid (OMB control numbers 2502-0429 and 2502-0523). Information in the claim file includes copies of the HUD approval with related claim documents to verify that HUD has authorized extensions of time on specific cases.
The increase in the number of responses from the previous submission of is a result of HUDÂs incentive payment plan for mortgagees who successfully use loss mitigation techniques with home retention options such as special forbearance, mortgage modification, and partial claim.
