Income discrepancies maybe identified through use of the EIV "Income Discrepancy Report" or by review of the discrepancy tab for the individual family. SARA will generate the Income Discrepancy Report for each annual reexamination of family income and composition. SARA will review the EIV discrepancy report during processing of the annual and interim re-examinations. When it appears that a family may have concealed orunder-reported income, SARA will request written third-party verification of the income in question. When the PHA determines that a participant appearing on the Income Discrepancy Report has not concealed orunder-reported income, the participant's name will be placed on a list of "false positive" reviews. To avoid multiple reviews in this situation, participants appearing on this list will be eliminated from discrepancy processing until a subsequent interim or annual reexamination has been completed. The PHA will review the EIV discrepancy tab during processing of annual and interim reexaminations. When SARA has determined through income reports and third-party verification that a family has concealed orunder-reported income, corrective action will betaken pursuant to the policies in Chapter 14, Program Integrity. EIV Identity Verification The EIV system verifies tenant identities against SSA records. These records are compared to PIC data for a match on social security number, name, and date of birth. SAHA is required to use EIV's Identity Verification Report on a monthly basis to improve the availability of income information in EIV [Notice PIH 2010-3 ] . When identity verification for a participant fails, a message will be displayed within the EIV system and no income information will be displayed. The PHA will identify participants whose identity verifications has failed by reviewing EIV's Identity Verification Report on a monthly basis. SARA will attempt to resolve PIC/SSA discrepancies by obtaining appropriate documentation from the participant. When SARA determines that discrepancies exist due to SARA errors such as spelling errors or incorrect birth dates, the errors will be corrected promptly. Up-front Income Verification using Non-HUD Systems (Optional) SARA will inform all applicants and participants of its use of the following UIV resources during the admission and reexamination process: HUD's EIV system ~~02~12 Page 7-5
