FHA mortgage insurance refunds: is HUD holding money for you?

If you once had an FHA-insured mortgage and paid it off, HUD may owe you a refund of part of the insurance premium. HUD runs a free lookup called "Does HUD owe you a refund?". Names and property address are enough to start.

What this is

FHA loans carry mortgage insurance. Under some older arrangements, a portion came back to the borrower when the loan ended, but borrowers who moved never got the notice. HUD keeps a list of those refunds.

Step by step

  1. Open HUD's refund page.
  2. Enter your name and the property details.
  3. If HUD lists a refund, follow the claim steps on the same page.
Before you go

Only loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration qualify. Conventional loans do not, and no third party can speed this up.

Questions people ask

Do I have to pay to find out?

No. The lookup is free.

What if I sold the house years ago?

Search anyway. The refund is tied to the loan, not to who owns the house now.

Can heirs claim?

HUD's page explains the paperwork for a borrower who has died.
