The upfront refund is calculated and automatiically credited on the HUD for the new laon

MIIP and PMI are mixing two different FHA insured products. PMI is for a regular FHA mortgage and at a certain point of loan to value and equity percentage on can request cancellation to the servicer. MIP is an insurance premium for a reverse mortgage in which there is no refund available. A reverse mortgage borrower pays MIP as long as the reverse mortgage is active and open. If one is doing a regular FHA streamline or a reverse mortgage streamline, one can possibly receive credit for paying both PMI and MIP. Also I agree wtih the other answer submitted in regards to the regular FHA mortgage being paid off within 36 months of initiating the loan,.

The Up-Front MIP (UFMIP) is refundable on a pro-rata basis if your loan is paid off within 36 months. The monthly MIP that has already been paid is not refundable. There are two parts to FHA MIP - The Up-Front amount (typically financed) and the monthly portion (never refundable).
