<br />SAHA Policy <br />Families are required to report all increases in earned income of all family members, <br />including new employment, within 14 days of the date the change takes effect. <br />If a family reports a decrease of income, an interim reexamination will be performed. If a <br />family reports an increase, an interim reexamination will be performed if the amount of <br />the increase is greater than $1200 per year (FSS excluded) or the family is paying the $50 <br />minimum rent. <br /> <br />11-II.D. PROCESSING THE INTERIM REEXAMINATION <br />Method of Reporting <br />SAHA Policy <br />The family must notify SAHA of changes in writing with appropriate documenntation. <br />SAHA provides a Change Report Form for this purpose. <br />Generally, the family will not be required to attend an interview for an interim <br />reexamination. However, if SAHA determines that an interview is warranted, the family <br />may be required to attend. <br />Based on the type of change reported, SAHA will determine if additional documentation <br />will be required to submit. The family must submit any required information or <br />documents within 14 days of receiving a request from SAHA. This time frame may be <br />extended for good cause with SAHA approval. SAHA will accept required <br />documentation by mail, by fax, or in person. <br />Effective Dates <br /> <br />The PHA 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 \[HUD HOUSING CHOICE GUIDEBOOK, p. 12-10\]. <br />SAHA Policy <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 a 30 <br />day notice to the family. <br />If a family fails to report a change within the required time frames, or fails to <br />provide all required information within the required time frames, the increase will <br />be applied retroactively, to the date it would have been effective had the <br />information been provided on a timely basis. The family will be responsible for <br />any overpaid subsidy and may be offered a repayment agreement in accordance <br />with the policies in Chapter 16. <br />If the family share of the rent is to decrease: <br /> <br />Page 11-8 <br />04/01/14 <br /> <br />
