SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Single Family Insurance System--Claims Subsystem (CLAIMS) was evaluated and identified for rescindment from the Finance and Budget Office of Housing Single Family Post Insurance Division Privacy Act systems of records inventory. The CLAIMS SORN was filed pursuant to the Department's Title II Claims Insurance Benefits Program. CLAIMS receives, edits, controls, monitors, and authorizes payment for all Single Family mortgage insurance claims benefits to FHA approved Mortgagees for loans HUD insures. The latest SORN for CLAIMS was published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2014. The SORN retrieval practice was evaluated, and it was determined that records within the system are not retrieved by an individual's personal unique identifier including name. CLAIMS records are maintained and retrieved by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Case Number; this retrieval practice does not constitute a retrieval for purpose of the Privacy Act. Thus, the CLAIMS SORN is being rescinded. Records collected and used for claims insurance benefits filed by FHA-approved mortgagees will continue to be maintained by CLAIMS.
