Home Equity Conversion Mortgage 

(HECM) Program: Mortgagee Optional 

Election Assignment for Home Equity 

Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) With 

FHA Case Numbers Assigned Prior to 

August 4, 2014—Solicitation of 

Comment 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On January 29, 2015, the 

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 

issued Mortgagee Letter 2015–03, setting 

out an alternative path to claim 

payment—the Mortgagee Optional 

Election Assignment—for certain 

HECMs. FHA issued this Mortgagee 

Letter pursuant to the authority granted 

to it in the Reverse Mortgage 

Stabilization Act of 2013 and Section 

230 of the National Housing Act. This 

alternative path to claim payment is 

necessary in order to ensure the 

financial viability of the HECM program 

and the FHA insurance funds. The 

mortgagee letter was issued for 

immediate effect and only applies to 

HECMs assigned an FHA Case Number 

prior to August 4, 2014, where there is 

a Non-Borrowing Spouse. This notice 

solicits comment for a period of 30 days 

on the alternative option for claim 

payment announced in Mortgagee Letter 

2015–03. 

DATES: Comment Due Date: March 9, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FHA has a 

statutory obligation to ensure the fiscal 

soundness of the FHA insurance funds 

and must take into account the financial 

and administrative burden of any 

potential alternative to claim payment 

that may be afforded to mortgagees 

holding any eligible HECMs that were 

assigned FHA Case Numbers prior to 

August 4, 2014. FHA also has the 

ability, pursuant to the Reverse 

Mortgage Stabilization Act of 2013 (Pub. 

L. 113–29), 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. 

FHA provided two alternative paths 

to claim payment in pending litigation: 

The Hold Election and the Mortgagee 

Optional Election Assignment, which 

are further discussed in Mortgagee 

Letter 2015–03.1 When analyzed in the 

aggregate, these options are costly; 

either option, even if offered alone, 

poses a significant financial impact to 

the FHA insurance funds. The Hold 

Election, when applied to the potential 

universe of mortgages involving NonBorrowing Spouses of HECM borrowers, 

imposes a financial risk to the insurance 

funds that is simply too great. FHA’s 

obligation to protect the soundness of 

the insurance funds makes it impossible 

to offer this option broadly. Even though 

the Mortgagee Optional Election 

Assignment also poses a financial risk to 

the FHA insurance funds, the risk is 

significantly less; therefore, FHA has 

determined that the only alternative 

path to claim payment that FHA will 

permit mortgagees to elect, pursuant to 

Mortgagee Letter 2015–03, is the 

Mortgagee Optional Election 

Assignment. 

In Mortgagee Letter 2015–03, FHA set 

out the Mortgagee Optional Election 

Assignment path to claim payment for 

existing HECMs with FHA Case 

Numbers issued prior to August 4, 2014. 

FHA alerted mortgagees that aside from 

the present procedures for either the 

sale of the home or foreclosure of the 

HECM in accordance with the contract 

as endorsed, or the Mortgagee Optional 

Election Assignment alternative, no 

other path to claim payment exists. 

Comments on the changes announced 

in Mortgagee Letter 2015–03 will be 

accepted for a period of 30 days and 

will be considered by HUD. 

Dated: February 3, 2015.
