G. NOTIFICATION OF RESULTS OF RECERTIFICATIONS [HUD Notice
PIH 98-6]
The HUD Form 50058 will be completed and transmitted as required by HUD.
The Notice of Rent Change is mailed to the owner and the tenant. Signatures are not required by
the PHA. If the family disagrees with the rent adjustment, they may request an informal hearing.
H. TIMELY REPORTING OF CHANGES IN INCOME (AND ASSETS) [24
CFR 982.516(c)]
Standard for Timely Reporting of Changes
The PHA requires that families report certain changes to the PHA within 30 days of when the
change occurs. (See “Interim Reexamination Policy.”) In such cases, the family will be issued
an interim re-examination packet. Zero income families who become employed or gain any type
of income must report the income within 30 days from the date of notification of the income
received or date of hire, whichever comes first.
If the change is not reported within the required time period, or if the family fails to provide
documentation or signatures, it will be considered untimely reporting.
Procedures when the Change is reported in a Timely Manner
The PHA will notify the family and the owner of any change in the Housing Assistance Payment
to be effective according to the following guidelines:
Increases in the Tenant Rent are effective on the first of the month following a thirty-day
notice.
Decreases in the Tenant Rent are effective the first of the month following the month in
which the change occurred.
Effective dates may need to be implemented retroactively because of the verification
process described herein.
Procedures when the Change is Not Reported by the Family in a Timely Manner
If the family does not report the change as described under Timely Reporting, the family will
have caused an unreasonable delay in the interim reexamination processing and the following
guidelines will apply:
Increase in Tenant Rent will be effective retroactive to the date it would have been
effective had it been reported on a timely basis. The family will be liable for any overpaid
housing assistance and may be required to sign a Payment Agreement or make a lump
sum payment.
Decreases in Tenant Rent will be effective on the first of the month following the month
in which the family reported the change.
Procedure when the Change is Not Processed by the PHA in a Timely Manner
The PHA will not delay the processing more than is required by the verification process
described in Chapter 7.
