s811pra.eiv.mandatory_use · v1.0.0
24 CFR 5.233 names Section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, without limiting itself to the capital advance side, among the programs whose processing entities must use HUD's Enterprise Income Verification system in its entirety: as a third-party source to verify tenant employment and income information during annual and streamlined reexaminations of family composition and income, and to reduce administrative and subsidy payment errors in accordance with HUD administrative guidance. Notice H 2023-10/PIH 2023-27 Revision 3 lists Section 811 Project Rental Assistance among the eleven programs it applies to. Failure to use the EIV system in its entirety may result in the imposition of sanctions, the assessment of disallowed costs associated with any resulting incorrect subsidy or tenant rent calculations, or both.
