HUD will share mortgage records with Treasury
HUD is replacing a routine use in the Single Family Mortgage Insurance Origination System (SFMIOS) so HUD may disclose records to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Do Not Pay system to identify, prevent, or recoup improper payments and to verify borrower eligibility for FHA mortgage insurance programs. The public comment period on this corrected change is open through May 6, 2026, and the change will take effect the day after the comment period ends unless comments require otherwise.
