Newly published income and rent limits must be applied on the required schedule

xp.income_limits.timely_application · v1.0.0

When HUD publishes new income or rent limits, each program has its own rule for when the new figures must be used. Applying stale limits produces silent errors in both directions.

Worth running as a portfolio-wide sweep every spring rather than only at file review: one stale limit table affects every certification issued after the changeover date.
