If a family reports a decrease of income, an interim reexamination will be performed. If a family <br />reports an increase in income, an interim reexamination will be performed if the amount is <br />greater than $1,200 per year (FSS excluded) or the family is paying $50 minimum rent. <br />Required Reporting <br />HUD regulations give SAHA the freedom to determine the circumstances under which families <br />will be required to report changes affecting income. <br />Families are required to report all increases in earned income, including new employment, within <br />14 days of the date the change takes effect. <br />11-II.D. PROCESSING THE INTERIM REEXAMINATION <br />Method of Reporting <br />The family must notify SAHA of changes in writing. SAHA provides a Change Report Form for <br />this purpose. <br />Generally, the family will not be required to attend an interview for an interim reexamination. <br />However, if SAHA determines that an interview is warranted, the family maybe required to <br />attend. <br />Based on the type of change reported, SAHA will determine the documentation the family will <br />be required to submit. The family must submit any required information or documents within 14 <br />days of receiving a request from SAHA. This time frame maybe extended for good cause with <br />SAHA approval. SAHA will accept required documentation by mail, by fax, or in person. <br />Effective Dates <br />SAHA must establish the time frames in which any changes that result from an interim <br />reexamination will take effect [24 CFR 982.516(d)]. The changes may be applied either <br />retroactively or prospectively, depending on whether there is to be an increase or a decrease in <br />the family share of the rent, and whether the family reported any required information within the <br />required time frames [HCV GB, p. 12-10]. <br />If the family share of the rent is to increase: <br />The increase generally will be effective on the first of the month following 30 days' <br />notice to the family. <br />If a family fails to report a change within the required time frames, or fails to provide all <br />required information within the required time frames, the increase will be applied <br />retroactively, to the date it would have been effective had the information been provided <br />on a timely basis. The family will be responsible for any overpaid subsidy and may be <br />offered a repayment agreement in accordance with the policies in Chapter 16. <br />If the family share of the rent is to decrease: <br />The decrease will be effective on the first day of the month following the month in which <br />the change was reported. In cases where the change cannot be verified until after the date <br />the change would have become effective, the change will be made retroactively. <br />iii29iio Page 11-7 <br />
