EDI 260 Application for Mortgage Insurance Benefits

Functional Group MG

X12F Finance Subcommittee

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Application for Mortgage Insurance Benefits Transaction Set (260) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used by mortgage lenders to file claims with both government agencies and private mortgage insurers in the event that defaults or foreclosure activity allow for the collection of a third-party guarantee/insurance benefit. The information in a standard format will allow all mortgage insurance claim payments to be requested similarly, whether they be to an investor, insurer, or guarantor.
