What is an escrow shortage?

An escrow shortage is when you don’t have enough money in your escrow account to cover the actual amount needed to pay your bills. Money for the escrow account comes directly from your monthly mortgage payment. How much of the money you pay that goes to your escrow account is determined by your yearly escrow analysis.

What if I pay a mortgage shortage?

Option 1: Pay nothing and spread the shortage amount evenly across next year’s payments. Option 2: Pay the full shortage now. Please note, if your tax and/or insurance expenses have increased, your monthly mortgage payment may still go up, even if you pay all of the shortage.

Will my escrow shortage payment go up if I pay full?

Your payment may still go up, even if you pay the entire shortage, if your taxes or insurance increase. Sign in to chase.com to use our escrow shortage payment calculator to see how partial or full shortage payments will affect your monthly mortgage payment. When can I make my shortage payment?
