I. TIMELY REPORTING OF HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION CHANGES [24 CFR 982.516(c)]
1. Reporting Requirements
Participants are required to report family composition changes in writing within 10 days of when the
change occurs. Any information, documents or signatures needed from the family, which is needed
to verify the change, must be provided when requested.
If the family composition change is not reported within the required time period, or the family fails
to provide documentation or signatures, it will be considered untimely reporting. Untimely
reporting may result in the family being required to sign a repayment agreement or termination of
assistance.
2. When the Change of Family Composition is Reported in a Timely Manner
The effective date of the rent portion changes are as follows:
- Increases in the Tenant Rent due to family changes are effective on the first of the month,
after at least 30 days notice to the family.
- Decreases in the Tenant Rent are effective the first of the month following the month in which
verifications are received.
3. When the Change is Not Reported Timely by the Family
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 Repayment Agreement or make a lump sum
payment.
- Decrease in Tenant Rent will be effective on the first of the month following the month that
the verifications are received.
4. When the Change of Family Composition is Not Processed Timely by SDHC
If there is an administrative delay, the following will be the effective date:
