How are escrow surpluses and shortages handled?
If your escrow analysis reflects a surplus over $50.00, a check for the surplus will be sent to you along with your escrow analysis. If the surplus is less than $50.00, this amount will be divided by twelve and used to reduce your monthly escrow payment. If your escrow analysis reflects a shortage, we collect the shortage over the next twelve months by adding one-twelfth of the shortage amount to your monthly mortgage payment. If you prefer, you may pay the shortage in full, and we will adjust your monthly payment amount accordingly.
