Was this a total loss? The money should go to the contractor unless you have already paid him out of pocket then the money would go to you...re-imburse you only what it cost to rebuild home and only what you paid the contractor. The mortgage company pays the contractors directly to be sure that they are paid in full and not mechanics liens are on the property. Provide proof of paid in full acknowledged by the contractor and the company will then release the check to you.

Are mortgage company required by law to release all of the insurance fund?
After you suffer a loss to your building, the insurance company will send the settlement check to your mortgage company, because they technically own your home. With that said, they want proof that the repairs are going to be done. Some mortgage companies will turn the funds over to you with a written estimate, while others may deliver partial funds to you as repairs are completed. They are required to release the funds to you because you own the insurance policy, not them. If you are having trouble getting the funds released, communicate the situation with your adjuster for advice. A good insurance adjuster may communicate with the mortgage company to assist you.

Can a mortgage company keep the unused portion of insurance claim money when the job is completed and inspected?
According to the person I spoke with at the Texas Department of Insurance (as this answer may vary with each state), the answer is no. The money belongs to the homeowner. The mortgage company must release the funds when the homeowner satisfies the requirements of the mortgage company, usually this is signed documents, contractor's invoice, and an inspection. Theoretically the mortgage company should then release the funds to the contractor and the homeowner. (Theoretically b/c our mortgage company comes up with something new they need every 2 weeks. We've been fighting for our money for 10 weeks now. So good luck!)

Can an insurance adjuster remove contractor's name from check on a roofing insurance job?
Possibly. When a check is cut by an insurer, typically the mortgage company and the insured are on the check but not necessarily the contractor. If all three are already on it is likely very hard to have the insurer re-issue the check to take the contractors name off.
