Lender is asking me to purchase a PMI to refinance my home...Is this right?

I've had the same loan for a long time. I want to refinance to benefit from a lower rate and lower my monthly payment. Lender wants me to add a PMI , because in this economy the house value went down....

The house value is still higher than the loan..... What's right?

    if the aprraised value is less than 80% of the loan PMI is NOT neccesary.

    If you do not have 20% invested in the house, they will force PMI on you.
