information that are verified at admission typically do not need to be re-verified on an annual <br />basis. These include: <br />• Legal identity <br />• Age <br />• Social security numbers <br />• A person's disability status <br />• Citizenship or immigration status <br />If adding a new family member to the unit causes overcrowding according to the Housing <br />Quality Standards (HQS) (see Chapter 8), the PHA must issue the family a new voucher, and the <br />family and PHA must try to find an acceptable unit as soon as possible. If an acceptable unit is <br />available for rental by the family, the PHA must terminate the HAP contract in accordance with <br />its terms [24 CFR 982.403 ] . <br />11-I.D. DETERMINING ONGOING ELIGIBILITY OF CERTAIN STUDENTS <br />[24 CFR 982.552(b)(5)] <br />Section 327 of Public Law 109-115 established new restrictions on the ongoing eligibility of <br />certain students (both part- and full-time) who are enrolled in institutions of higher education. <br />If a student enrolled in an institution of higher education is under the age of 24, is not a veteran, <br />is not married, does not have a dependent child, and is not a person with disabilities receiving <br />HCV assistance as of November 30, 2005, the student's eligibility must be reexamined along <br />with the income eligibility of the student's parents on an annual basis. In these cases, both the <br />student and the student's parents must be income eligible for the student to continue to receive <br />HCV assistance. If, however, a student in these circumstances is determined independent from <br />his or her parents in accordance with SARA policy, the income of the student's parents will not <br />be considered in determining the student's ongoing eligibility. <br />Students who reside with parents in an HCV assisted unit are not subject to this provision. It is <br />limited to students who are receiving assistance on their own, separately from their parents. <br />During the annual reexamination process, the SARA will determine the ongoing eligibility of <br />each student who is subj ect to the eligibility restrictions in 24 CFR 5.612 by reviewing the <br />student's individual income as well as the income of the student's parents. If the student has been <br />determined "independent" from his/her parents based on the policies in Sections 3-II.E and 7- <br />II.E, the parents' income will not be reviewed. <br />If the student is no longer income eligible based onhis/her own income or the income ofhis/her <br />parents, the student's assistance will be terminated in accordance with the policies in Section 12- <br />I.D. <br />If the student continues to be income eligible based onhis/her own income and the income of <br />his/her parents (if applicable), the SARA will process a reexamination in accordance with the <br />policies in this chapter. <br />~~02~12 Page 11-3 <br />
