Lenders use the Single Family Premium Collection Subsystem-Upfront (SFPCS-U) to remit the upfront premium to obtain mortgage insurance for the homeowner. The information strengthens HUD's ability to manage and process upfront single-family mortgage insurance premium collections and corrections to submit data. It also improves data integrity for the Single Family Mortgage Insurance Program.
There are no changes to the program. There is an increase in the number of lenders to account for all FHA-approved lenders. Additionally, there has been growth in the number of refinance loans due to the lower interest rates. HUD has decreased its estimate of burden hours per response because the transactions are all electronic.
