       The Honorable Moon Landrieu                            111840
       The Secretary of Housing
         and Urban Development                                111840

       Dear Mr. Secretary:

           Subject: EHousing and Urban Development's Efforts to
                     Improve its Accounting System for Mortgage
                     Insurance Premiums1-(FGMSD-80-27)

)L / : /    At the request of the House Subcommittee on Manpower and
       Housing, Committee on Government Operations, we reviewed the
       action your Department has taken to improve its system for
       billing and collecting mortgage insurance premiums. The sys-
       tem now controls around $350 million in annual premiums and,
       as of September 1979, was reporting over $22 million in delin-
       quent premiums.

             Our review concentrated on the effectiveness of actions
        taken to reduce the amount of delinquent premiums. Our find-
        ings, which were presented in testimony before the House Sub-
        committee on November 8, 1979, are elaborated in enclosure I
        and summarized below.

             We concluded that your Department had not been suffi-
        ciently aggressive in collecting millions of dollars in pre-
        miums that mortgage institutions owed. This position was
        reached after considering that:

             --The September 1979 delinquent balance of $22 million
               was greater than the $18 million balance that existed
               when we last reviewed the system in September 1977.

             --Between September 1977 and April 1979, bills for over
               $15 million in delinquent premiums were canceled based
               only on claims by mortgage institutions that the related
               insurance had been terminated.

             --Between March and July 1979, the Department liquidated
               an additional $3.6 million in delinquent premiums with-
               out taking any action to establish the propriety of
               the liquidation.
