HUD’s position is that <br />this traditional third-party verification method presents administrative burdens and risks which <br />may be reduced through the use of family-provided third-party documents. <br /> <br />PHAs may mail, fax, or e-mail third–party verification form requests to third-party sources. <br /> SAHA Policy <br />SAHA may mail, fax, e-mail third-party written verification requests and will accept <br />third-party responses using any of these methods. SAHA will send a written request for <br />verification to each required source within 7 days of securing a family’s authorization for <br />the release of the information and give the source 14 days to respond in writing. If a <br />response has not been received by the 15th day, SAHA may send a second request, or will <br />request third-party oral verification. <br /> <br />Oral Third-Party Verification [Notice PIH 2010-19] <br /> <br />For third-party oral verification, PHAs will contact sources, identified by UIV techniques or by <br />the family, by telephone or in person. <br /> <br />Oral third-party verification is mandatory if neither form of written third-party verification is <br />available. <br /> <br />Third-party oral verification may be used when requests for written third-party verifications <br />forms have not been returned within a reasonable time---e.g., 10 business days. <br /> <br />5-22
