Summary

Lenders must send mortgage insurance premiums they collect for loans under these programs to the federal government right away. For one- to four-family homes, pay the premiums when you get them from the borrower. For other loans, pay when the premiums are due to the Secretary. The Secretary may allow a lender to delay payment up to 24 months if the lender pays interest at a rate the Secretary sets to the insurance fund. That interest starts 20 days after the lender gets the money or after the premium due date and continues until the premiums are paid to the government.
