Administrative Plan 5/1/21 <br /> Page TSP-19 <br />TPS-IV.E. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND CITIZENSHIP STATUS <br />VERIFICATION <br />For the EHV program, the PHA is not required to obtain and verify SSN documentation and <br />documentation evidencing eligible noncitizen status before admitting the family to the EHV <br />program. Instead, PHAs may adopt policies to admit EHV applicants who are unable to provide <br />the required SSN or citizenship documentation during the initial eligibility determination. As an <br />alternative requirement, such individuals must provide the required documentation within 180 <br />days of admission to be eligible for continued assistance, pending verification, unless the PHA <br />provides an extension based on evidence from the family or confirmation from the CoC or other <br />partnering agency that the family has made a good-faith effort to obtain the documentation. <br />If a PHA determines that an ineligible family received assistance, the PHA must take steps to <br />terminate that family from the program. <br />PHA Policy <br />The PHA will admit EHV applicants who are unable to provide the required SSN or <br />citizenship documentation during the initial eligibility determination. These individuals <br />must provide the required documentation in accordance with policies in Chapter 7 within <br />180 days of admission. The PHA may provide an additional 60-day extension based on <br />evidence from the family or confirmation from the CoC or other partnering agency that <br />the family has made a good-faith effort to obtain the documentation. <br />If the PHA determines that an ineligible family received assistance, the PHA will take <br />steps to terminate that family from the program in accordance with policies in <br />Chapter 12. <br />TPS-IV.F. AGE AND DISABILITY VERIFICATION <br />PHAs may accept self-certification of date of birth and disability status if a higher level of <br />verification is not immediately available. If self-certification is used, the PHA must obtain a <br />higher level of verification within 90 days of admission or verify the information in EIV. <br />If a PHA determines that an ineligible family received assistance, the PHA must take steps to <br />terminate that family from the program. <br />PHA Policy <br />The PHA will accept self-certification of date of birth and disability status if a higher <br />form of verification is not immediately available. The certification must be made in a <br />format acceptable to the PHA and must be signed by the family member whose <br />information or status is being verified. If self-certification is accepted, within 90 days of <br />admission, the PHA will verify the information in EIV or through other third-party <br />verification if the information is not available in EIV. The PHA will note the family’s file <br />that self-certification was used as initial verification and include an EIV printout or other <br />third-party verification confirming the applicant’s date of birth and/or disability status. <br />If the PHA determines that an ineligible family received assistance, the PHA will take <br />steps to terminate that family from the program in accordance with policies in <br />Chapter 12. <br />EXHIBIT 3
