I were a FHA underwriter from 1999 to 2000. And I were assigned a DE CHUM# but could not remember the CHUM# now. My question is , does the CHUM# stay with you or you loss it once you don't underwrite FHA loan anymore. If the CHUM# stay with you , how do you recover the CHUM# fom HUD?

Hi,
I am in a similar situation as I have my DE for years but have not actually underwritten FHA/VA loans for nine years. I have been on interviews and some companies want you to retest with the government agencies by submitting appraisal reviews, etc. and others say that retesting is not required and it's up to them to hire you not based on your entire experience.
Therefore, it depends on the company and your overall experience with government financing. In addition, there are companies that are making us take an assessment test before they will even interview us.. such as Bank of America.. and I believe it is called an RGU assessment. Good Luck : )

If you were an approved FHA Underwriter and received a CHUMs number, according to FHA, you are still an approved DE Underwriter. Call FHA Connections (sorry this website won't let me post the toll free number hint: the old toll free 3 numbers and then CallFHA) this is the national FHA hotline. They will ask you what region issued your CHUMS number and direct you there. From there it's a process to associate you with an approved FHA lender (assuming you are or will be working for one).

FHA doesn't require any retesting or recertification however it would be a good idea to take some refresher classes especially on appraisal review and issuing the conditional commitment.

Hope that helps.
