S. 1376
FHA Solvency Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
on July 31, 2013
SUMMARY
S. 1376 would make several changes to current law aimed at improving the financial safety
and soundness of the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA's) Mutual Mortgage
Insurance (MMI) fund. That fund records the transactions of two housing programs
operated by FHA: the single-family mortgage guarantee program and the Home Equity
Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. The bill would require FHA to take certain
corrective actions if the annual actuarial review of the MMI fund indicates that the fund's
capital ratio has fallen below certain targets and would require FHA to make other
administrative changes to the processes they use to oversee the single-family and HECM
programs.
CBO estimates that implementing S. 1376 would result in a net decrease in discretionary
spending of $514 million over the 2014-2018 period, assuming enactment of appropriation
laws necessary to implement the legislation's provisions. This legislation would not affect
direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
S. 1376 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of S. 1376 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 370 (commerce and housing credit).
