The batch file format described below is used to transmit to HUD (CPU to CPU) Single Family monthly (periodic) mortgage insurance premium payments. Collection processing of the transmitted payment is performed by Pay.gov.
This is a newer format that was formerly used by some lenders and service bureaus to transmit their files to Mellon Bank. It is referred to as the New Format. Of the two available formats (Old Format and New Format), the New Format is recommended for lenders new to the CPU to CPU batch file processing method of transmitting Periodic premium payments. For information regarding the Old Format, see Batch File Format for Payment of Monthly (Periodic) Mortgage Insurance Premium (Old Format).
The batch file must include the following records, in this order:
- Header Record
- Detail Record (Mortgagee/Lender Header)
- Supplemental Record
- Last Supplemental Record
- Deposit Control Record
- Deposit Total Record
The file can have only one Header Record, Deposit Control Record, and Deposit Total Record. The file can contain multiple Detail and Supplemental Records. The Detail Record (Mortgagee/Lender Header) is followed by at least one corresponding Supplemental Record (case payment information), with a Final Supplemental Record indicating the end of the case information. For service bureaus sending payments for multiple lenders, the series of Detail Record (Mortgagee/Lender Header), Supplemental Record(s), and Final Supplemental Record is included for each lender. For information on batch file naming conventions, see Monthly (Periodic) Mortgage Insurance Premium Batch Payment Processing Instructions for CPU to CPU Transmissions.
