Chapter 11 <br />REEXAMINATIONS <br />INTRODUCTION <br />SAHA is required to reexamine each family's income and composition at least annually and to <br />adjust the family's level of assistance accordingly. Interim reexaminations are also needed in <br />certain situations. This chapter discusses both annual and interim reexaminations, and the <br />recalculation of family share and subsidy that occurs as a result. HUD regulations and SAHA <br />policies concerning reexaminations are presented in three parts: <br />Part L Annual Reexaminations. This part discusses the process for conducting annual <br />reexaminations. <br />Part IL• Interim Reexaminations. This part details the requirements for families to report <br />changes in family income and composition between annual reexaminations. <br />Part III: Recalculatin Fly Share and Subsidy Amount. This part discusses the <br />recalculation of family share and subsidy amounts based on the results of annual and <br />interim reexaminations. <br />Policies governing reasonable accommodation, family privacy, required family cooperation, and <br />program abuse, as described elsewhere in this plan, apply to both annual and interim <br />reexaminations. <br />PART I: ANNUAL REEXAMINATIONS [24 CFR 982.516] <br />11-LA. OVERVIEW <br />SAHA must conduct a reexamination of family income and composition at least annually. This <br />includes gathering and verifying current information about family composition, income, and <br />expenses. Based on this updated information, the family's income and rent must be recalculated. <br />This part discusses the schedule for annual reexaminations, the information to be collected and <br />verified, and annual reexamination effective dates. <br />11-I.B. SCHEDULING ANNUAL REEXAMINATIONS <br />SAHA will begin the annual reexamination process approximately 120 days in advance of its <br />scheduled effective date. Generally, SAHA will schedule annual reexamination effective dates to <br />coincide with the family's anniversary date. <br />Anniversary date is defined as 12 months from the effective date of the family's last annual <br />reexamination or, during a family's first year in the program, from the effective date of the <br />family's initial examination (admission). <br />SAHA also may schedule an annual reexamination for completion prior to the anniversary date <br />for administrative purposes. <br />iii29iio Page 11-1 <br />
