(d) Review of SAHA decision. (1) Public housing. If a public housing tenant claims that SAHA has not correctly calculated the amount of imputed welfare income in accordance with HUD requirements, and if SAHA denies the family's request to modify such amount, SAHA shall give the tenant written notice of such denial, with a brief explanation of the basis for SAHA determination of the amount of imputed welfare income. SAHA notice shall also state that if the tenant does not agree with SAHA determination, the tenant may request a grievance hearing in accordance with part 966, subpart B of this title to review SAHA determination. The tenant is not required to pay an escrow deposit pursuant to Sec. 966.55(e) for the portion of tenant rent attributable to the imputed welfare income in order to obtain a grievance hearing on SAHA determination. (2) Section 8 participant. A participant in the Section 8 tenant-based assistance program may request an informal hearing, in accordance with Sec. 982.555 of this title, to review SAHA determination of the amount of imputed welfare income that must be included in the family's annual income in accordance with this section. If the family claims that such amount is not correctly calculated in accordance with HUD requirements, and if SAHA denies the family's request to modify such amount, SAHA shall give the family written notice of such denial, with a brief explanation of the basis for SAHA determination of the amount of imputed welfare income. Such notice shall also state that if the family does not agree with SAHA determination, the family may request an informal hearing on the determination under SAHA hearing procedure. (e) SAHA relation with welfare agency. (1) SAHA must ask welfare agencies to inform SAHA of any specified welfare benefits reduction for a family member, the reason for such reduction, the term of any such reduction, and any subsequent welfare agency determination affecting the amount or term of a specified welfare benefits reduction. If the welfare agency determines a specified welfare benefits reduction for a family member, and gives SAHA written notice of such reduction, the family's annual incomes shall include the imputed welfare income because of the specified welfare benefits reduction. (2) SAHA is responsible for determining the amount of imputed welfare income that is included in the family's annual income as a result of a specified welfare benefits reduction as determined by the welfare agency, and specified in the notice by the welfare agency to SAHA. However, SAHA is not responsible for determining whether a reduction of welfare benefits by the welfare agency was correctly determined by the welfare agency in accordance with welfare program requirements and procedures, nor for providing the opportunity for review or hearing on such welfare agency determinations. (3) Such welfare agency determinations are the responsibility of the welfare agency, and the family may seek appeal of such determinations through the welfare agency's normal due process procedures. SAHA shall be entitled to rely on the welfare agency notice to SAHA of the welfare agency's determination of a specified welfare benefits reduction. 3-179
