determine that an applicant family is income eligible for admission to the program in the area where the family wishes to lease a unit [Notice PIH 2011-3, 24 CFR 982.201(b)(4)] .The receiving PHA does not re-determine income eligibility for a portable family that was already receiving assistance in the initial PHA's voucher program [24 CFR 982.355(c)(1}]. For any family moving into its jurisdiction under portability, SARA will conduct a new reexamination of family income and composition. However, SARA will not delay issuing the family a voucher for this reason. Nor will SARA delay approving a unit for the family until the reexamination process is complete unless the family is an applicant and SARA cannot otherwise confirm that the family is income eligible for admission to the program in the area where the unit is located. In conducting its own reexamination, SARA may rely upon any verifications provided by the initial PHA to the extent that they (a) accurately reflect the family's current circumstances and (b) were obtained within the last 120 days. Any new information may be verified by documents provided by the family and adjusted, if necessary, when third party verification is received. Voucher Issuance When a family moves into its jurisdiction under portability, the receiving PHA is required to issue the family a voucher [24 CFR 982.355(b)(6)].Tbe family must submit a request for tenancy approval to the receiving PHA during the term of the receiving PHA's voucher [24 CFR 982.355(c)(6)]. Timing of Voucher Issuance HUD expects the receiving PHA to issue the voucher within two weeks after receiving the family's paperwork from the initial PHA if the information is in order, the family has contacted the receiving PHA, and the family complies with the receiving PHA's procedures [Notice PIH 2008-43]. When a family ports into SAHA's jurisdiction, SARA will issue the family a voucher based on the paperwork provided by the initial PHA unless the family's paperwork from the initial PHA is incomplete, the family's voucher from the initial PHA has expired or the family does not comply with SAHA's procedures. SARA will update the family's information when verification has been completed. Voucher Term The term of the receiving PHA's voucher may not expire before the term of the initial PHA's voucher [24 CFR 982.355(c)(6)].Tberefore, SAHA's voucher will expire on the same date as the initial PHA's voucher. Voucher Extensions j24 CFR 982.355(c)(6),1Votice 2011-3J The receiving PHA may provide additional search time to the family beyond the expiration date of the initial PHA's voucher; however, if it does so, it must inform the initial PHA of the extension. It must also bear in mind the billing deadline provided by the initial PHA. Unless willing and able to absorb the family, the receiving PHA should ensure that any voucher expiration date would leave sufficient time to process a request for tenancy approval, execute a HAP contract, and deliver the initial billing to the initial PHA. 7/02/12 Page 10-11
