<br />SAHA Policy <br /> <br />If a household member ceases to reside in the unit, the family must inform SAHA within 14 <br />days. This requirement also applies to a family member who has been considered temporarily <br />absent at the point that SAHA concludes the individual is permanently absent. <br />If a live-in aide, foster child, or foster adult ceases to reside in the unit, the family must <br />inform SAHA within 14 days. <br /> <br />11-II.C. CHANGES AFFECTING INCOME OR EXPENSES <br />Interim reexaminations can be scheduled either because the PHA has reason to believe that <br />changes in income or expenses may have occurred, or because the family reports a change. <br />When a family reports a change, the PHA may take different actions depending on whether the <br /> <br />family reported the change voluntarily, or because it was required to do so. <br />PHA-Initiated Interim Reexaminations <br />The PHA-initiated interim reexaminations are those that are scheduled based on circumstances or <br />criteria defined by the PHA. They are not scheduled because of changes reported by the family. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will conduct interim reexaminations in each of the following instances: <br />For families receiving the Earned Income Disallowance (EID), SAHA will <br />conduct an interim reexamination at the start and conclusion of the second 12 <br />month exclusion period (50 percent phase-in period). <br />If the family has reported zero income, SAHA will conduct an interim reexamination <br />every 2 months to re-verify income as long as the family continues to report that they <br />have no income. <br />If at the time of the annual reexamination, tenant-provided documents were used on a <br />provisional basis due to the lack of third-party verification, and third-party verification <br />becomes available, SAHA will conduct an interim reexamination. <br />SAHA may conduct an interim reexamination at any time in order to correct an error in a <br />previous reexamination, or to investigate a tenant fraud complaint. <br />Family-Initiated Interim Reexaminations <br />The PHA must adopt policies prescribing when and under what conditions the family must report <br />changes in family income or expenses \[24 CFR 982.516(c)\]. In addition, HUD regulations <br />require that the family be permitted to obtain an interim reexamination any time the family has <br />experienced a change in circumstances since the last determination \[24 CFR 982.516(b)(2)\]. <br /> <br />Required Reporting <br />HUD regulations give the PHA freedom to determine the circumstances under which families <br />will be required to report changes affecting income. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 11-7 <br />04/01/14 <br /> <br />
