Processing premium bills

Your Excel (TXT) premium bill file includes:

• Premiums due to Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation and/or MGIC Indemnity Corporation
• Premiums due for coverage on unimproved lot loans issued by MGIC Assurance Corporation
• All insurance premiums, applicable taxes, assessments and other charges by government agencies due for the current and outstanding coverage dates

Instructions

To process your bill:

• Download the TXT bill file from our Secure File Transfer (SFT) system. Save the file as MGICBILL.txt
• Review the data
  • For loans where a declining renewal premium has reached its anniversary month, the Premium Calculation Mortgage Balance(column E), Premium Due (column G), Tax Due (column I) and Total Premium/Tax Due (column J) amounts are all listed as "0"(Note: To calculate premium, multiply the mortgage balance by the premium rate; if monthly, divide by 12. To calculate the Tax/Assessment, multiply the new premium by the tax/assessment rate.)
  • Enter the current mortgage balance and use it to calculate and enter the Premium Due (column G), Tax Due (column I) and Total Premium/Tax Due (column J) amounts
  • MGIC-provided-macro users: Once you enter the Premium Calculation Mortgage Balance (column E), the macro will automatically calculate and fill in the Premium Due (column G), Tax Due (column I) and Total Premium/Tax Due (column J) amounts
  • Multiple coverage dates listed for a loan indicate that we previously billed for the loan and had not yet received payment at the time the current bill was generated. If past due and previously billed premiums remain unpaid, we will terminate coverage, per our Master Policy
• Save the file for your records
• Return your response file to us via SFT on or before the payment due date, as determined by your billing cycle. Select Send File to MGIC > MGIC Group > ARB Remit
• Remit premium payments due on or before the payment due date, as determined by your billing cycle, via ACH or wire transfer:
