Electronic Case Binder Upload
Business Background

A lender participating in the Lender Insurance (LI) Forward or Reverse program with Approval eBinder (Upload) status can submit electronic case binders (closing packages) in Portable Document Format (PDF) via the FHA Connection when requested by a HUD Homeownership Center (HOC). Electronic Case Binder Upload is used to upload a PDF file containing the entire closing package. Case binders may be requested from lenders for official business reasons such as:

When a case binder is requested, an e-mail notification is sent to the lender using the contact information provided via Lender Insurance Contact. Requested binders must be submitted to the appropriate HOC within 10 business days of the request date. Binder Selection can be used to view and track requested case binders.

Specific bookmarks must be created in the PDF file containing the case binder documents. The appropriate documents are placed under each bookmark. See the tables below for details.
