<strong>Chapter</strong> 8 – Annual Reexaminations and Interim Adjustments [24 CFR Part 982, Subpart I & K] student will not be included for determination of voucher size. If applicable, the voucher size will be decreased effective with the recertification or move, whichever comes first. - If the family decides that the student is temporarily absent, income of that student will be included in total household income, the student will be included on the lease and the student will not be included for determination of voucher size. If applicable, the voucher size will be decreased effective with the recertification or move, whichever comes first. - If the temporarily absent student returns to live at home full time, SDHC may restore the prior voucher size. If approved, the voucher size increase will be effective with an interim, recertification or move, whichever comes first. 4. Absence Due to Incarceration If any member of the household is incarcerated for other than drug related or violent criminal activity and is absent more than 186 calendar days he/she will be considered permanently absent. If he/she is incarcerated for drug related or violent criminal activity, SDHC will begin the termination process of the household. 5. Absence of Children Due to Placement in Foster Care If the family includes a child or children temporarily absent from the home due to placement in foster care, SDHC will determine from the appropriate agency when the child(ren) will be returned to the home. If the period is to be greater than 186 days from the date of removal of the child(ren), the voucher size will be reduced in accordance with SDHC’s subsidy standards. 6. Absence of Entire Family These policy guidelines address situations when the family is absent from the unit, but has not moved out of the unit. In cases where the family has moved out of the unit, SDHC will terminate assistance in accordance with appropriate termination procedures contained in this Plan. "Absence" means that no family member is residing in the unit. Families must notify SDHC in writing if they are going to be absent from the unit for more than 30 consecutive days. If the entire family is absent from the unit for more than 30 consecutive days without notifying SDHC, the unit will be considered to be vacated and the assistance will be terminated. In order to determine if the family is absent from the unit, SDHC may: - Mail notification to family’s unit address. - Telephone the family at the unit. - Contact the property owner. - Verify if utilities are in service. - Send Post Office verification. 7. Caretaker for Children If neither parent nor adult household member remain in the household, and the appropriate agency has determined that another adult is to be brought into the assisted unit to care for the child(ren) for an indefinite period, SDHC will consider the adult a visitor for the first 180 calendar days. The 8-9
<strong>Chapter</strong> 8 – Annual Reexaminations and Interim Adjustments [24 CFR Part 982, Subpart I & K] visitor’s income will be included. The visitor will not qualify as a remaining family member and is not entitled to the voucher. When court-awarded custody or legal guardianship has been awarded, the Voucher will be transferred to the appointed caretaker. If the appropriate agency cannot confirm the guardianship status by the end of 180 day period, SDHC will review the status at 90-day intervals. If the court has not awarded custody or legal guardianship, but the action is in process, SDHC will secure verification from social services staff or the attorney as to the status. The caretaker will be allowed to remain in the unit, as a visitor, until a determination of custody is made. When SDHC approves a person to reside in the unit as caretaker for the child(ren), the income will be counted pending a final disposition. SDHC will work with the appropriate service agencies and the property owner to provide a smooth transition in these cases. If there are more than one remaining adult household member and the family cannot determine who will be the head of household, SDHC will make the determination based on the person’s capability to provide for the children. 8. Visitors Any adult not included on the HUD 50058 who has been in the unit more than 30 consecutive days without SDHC approval will be considered to be living in the unit as an unauthorized household member. Absence of evidence of any other address may be considered verification that the visitor is an unauthorized member of the household. Statements from neighbors and/or the property owner will be considered in making the determination. Use of the unit address as the visitor's current residence for any purpose that is not explicitly temporary shall be construed as permanent residence. The burden of proof that the individual is a visitor rests on the family. In the absence of such proof, the individual will be considered an unauthorized member of the household and SDHC will terminate assistance because prior approval was not requested or granted for the additional household member. Minors and students who were part of the family but who now live away from home during the school year and are no longer on the lease may visit for up to 90 days per year. In a joint custody arrangement, if the minor is in the household less than 186 days per year, the minor will be considered an eligible visitor. M. PROGRAM ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY 1.
