<br /> Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 18-16 <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will verify compliance with the education, workforce development, or <br />employment requirement, or one of the statutory exceptions, at the end of the 36-month <br />and 48-month time periods prior to the FYI voucher holder’s scheduled annual <br />reexamination. SAHA will not verify compliance at the end of the 60-month time period. <br />SAHA will provide each FYI voucher holder on SAHA’s program with a written <br />notification informing them that they may receive an extension of their FYI assistance if <br />they meet conditions outlined in this chapter and providing them with instructions on <br />how they may demonstrate compliance at least 60 days prior to their scheduled annual <br />reexamination date. When necessary, SAHA will provide this notification in a format <br />accessible to FYI voucher holders with disabilities and in a translated format for FYI <br />voucher holders with limited English proficiency in accordance with Chapter 2. <br />SAHA will use the following verification methods to verify an FYI voucher holder’s <br />eligibility for voucher extensions: <br />To verify compliance with the FSS requirement, SAHA will examine its records <br />to confirm, or obtain confirmation from SAHA’s FSS program staff, that the FYI <br />participant is in compliance with FSS program requirements and has not been <br />terminated from the FSS program. <br />To meet the education, workforce development, or employment requirement, <br />SAHA will verify that the FYI voucher holder was engaged in at least one <br />education, workforce development, or employment activity for at least nine <br />months of the 12-month period immediately preceding the end of the 36-month or <br />48-month time period, as applicable. <br />Due to the timing of when SAHA verifies compliance and conducts the <br />annual reexamination, the FYI voucher holder may have not yet met the <br />nine-month requirement but may be able to demonstrate that they will <br />meet the nine-month requirement as of the end of the 36-month or 48- <br />month time period. In such cases, the FYI voucher holder will still be <br />considered to have met the requirements. <br />In order for the FYI voucher holder to meet one of the statutory exceptions <br />described above, the FYI voucher holder must submit a certification to SAHA <br />that they meet one of these exceptions. This certification is the only <br />documentation that the FYI voucher holder must submit in order to demonstrate <br />that they meet one of the statutory exceptions. <br />An FYI voucher holder who received an extension of voucher assistance at the end of the 36- <br />month time period based on meeting one of the conditions described in this chapter does not <br />have to meet the same conditions when they reach the end of the 48-month time period. The FYI <br />voucher holder may demonstrate that they meet a different condition in order to receive an <br />extension of their assistance. <br />EXHIBIT 1
