7-III.D. ALIMONY OR CHILD SUPPORT SAHA Policv The way SAHA will seek verification for alimony and child support differs depending on whether the family declares that it receives regular payments. If the family declares that it receives regular payments, verification will be sought in the following order: ■ Receipts and/or payment stubs for the 90 days prior to SAHA's appointment or as needed. ■ Third -party verification form/printout from the state or local child support enforcement agency for record of payments for the past 12 months and request that the entity disclose any known information about the likelihood of future payments. Third -party verification form from the person paying the support. ■ Family's self -certification of amount received and of the likelihood of support payments being received in the future, or that support payments are not being received. ■ A separation or settlement agreement or a divorce decree stating amount and type of support and payment schedules 7-III.E. ASSETS AND INCOME FROM ASSETS Assets Disposed of for Less than Fair Market Value The family must certify whether any assets have been disposed of for less than fair market value in the preceding two years. SAHA needs to verify only those certifications that warrant documentation [HCV GB, p. 5-28]. SAHA Policv SAHA will verify the value of assets disposed of only if the amount reported by the family in the reexamination appears obviously in error on its market value. Example 1: An elderly participant reported a $10,000 certificate of deposit at the last annual reexamination and SAHA verified this amount. Now the person reports that she has given this $10,000 to her son. SAHA has a reasonable estimate of the value of the asset; therefore, re -verification of the value of the asset is not necessary. Example 2: A family member has disposed of its 1/4 share of real property located in a desirable area and has valued her share at approximately 5,000. Based upon market conditions, this declaration does not seem realistic. Therefore, SAHA will verify the value of this asset.
