The Escrow Analysis Statement included with the check should show how the overage was calculated. Federal law requires that we return any surplus over $50 directly to you. However, if you would like to return the overage check to us and have it applied as a principal reduction, please do so by endorsing the back of the check to First Savings Bank and send it to the following address: First Savings Bank 500 S Broad Street, Suite 100A Meriden, CT 06450

A shortage means an amount by which a current escrow account balance falls short of the target balance at the time of escrow analysis. If your escrow account analysis discloses a shortage of less than one month's escrow account payment, then we may require you to repay the shortage amount within 30 days. If your escrow account analysis discloses a shortage that is greater than or equal to one month's escrow account payment, then we may require you to repay the shortage in equal monthly payments over at least a 12-month period. A deficiency is the amount of a negative balance in an escrow account. If your escrow account analysis confirms a deficiency, then we may require you to pay additional monthly deposits to your account to eliminate the deficiency. If the deficiency is less than one month's escrow account payment, then we may require you to repay the deficiency within 30 days. If the deficiency is greater than or equal to one month's escrow payment, we may require you to repay the deficiency in two or more equal monthly payments. Please see your Escrow Analysis Statement for further details.
