Administrative Plan 4/1/2016 Page 11-9 <br />Optional Reporting <br />The family may request an interim reexamination any time the family has experienced a change <br />in circumstances since the last determination [24 CFR 982.516(b)(2)]. SAHA must process the <br />request if the family reports a change that will result in a reduced family income [HCV GB, p. <br />12-9]. <br />If a family reports a decrease in income from the loss of welfare benefits due to fraud or non- <br />compliance with a welfare agency requirement to participate in an economic self-sufficiency <br />program, the family’s share of the rent will not be reduced [24 CFR 5.615]. For more <br />information regarding the requirement to impute welfare income see Chapter 6. <br />SAHA Policy <br />If a family reports a change that it was not required to report and that would result in a <br />decrease in the family share of rent, SAHA will conduct an interim reexamination. See <br />Section 11-II.D. for effective dates. <br /> Families may report changes in income or expenses at any time. <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 documentation. <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 />SAHA 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 [HCV GB, 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 />3-273
