Section 247 Assignments

HUD has special procedures for mortgage insurance claims on properties located on Hawaiian Home Lands. Loans insured by HUD under Section 247 of the National Housing Act must be assigned to HUD at the time an insured lender files its timely claim for mortgage insurance benefits. A lender should consult 24 CFR §§203.439 and 203.665 for the special requirements which must be met prior to filing an insurance claim for loans with the Automated Data Processing (ADP) codes of 759, 780, 793, 805, 808 or 811 (last three digits of FHA case number).
