Advance Notices report file provides information about premium changes for cases by anniversary date. Advance Notices also includes cases that were endorsed the month before the file was generated, cases that were transferred to the mortgagee's portfolio the month before the file was generated, and cases that will no longer be billed for monthly MIP (this is a one-time report of $0.00 premium). Multiple advance notices can be generated for the same case. For example, if a case was transferred to the mortgagee's portfolio the previous month AND has an anniversary premium change the following month, two Advance Notices will be generated for the case: one for the transfer, and one for the new premium amount. The last notice listed for the case provides the latest MIP amount.
The file, available by the 10th of the month, will contain the new premium amounts for the following month's billing period. For example: the file available on July 10, 2010 will show the new monthly premium for the period of August 1 - 30, 2010 and DUE on September 1, 2010. In addition, the annual premium will be shown to reflect the billing periods from August 2010 through July 2011. The anniversary due date for the annual premium in this case is August 1, 2011 as referenced on the old version of Advance Notices. The file will remain available on the FHA Connection for three months after it is produced.
The Advance Notices file is NOT a bill. Rather, Advance Notices indicate what monthly premium will be used to calculate the bill. (Refer to the Billing file for actual monthly bills.)
