EXHIBIT 1 7-I.F. LEVEL 4 VERIFICATION [Notice PIH 2O23-271 HUD identifies two types of Level 4 verification: written -third party verification from the source and EIV + self -certification. EIV + Self -Certification EIV may be used as written third -party verification and may be used to calculate income if the family agrees with the information in EIV and self -certifies that the amount is accurate and representative of current income. This practice is known as EIV + self -certification. When calculating income using this method, the PHA may use its discretion to determine which method of calculation is reasonable: the last four quarters combined or an average of any number of quarters. The family must be provided with the information from EIV. SAHA Polic If there are no reported changes to an income source, SAHA may use EIV + self - certification as verification of employment income, provided the family agrees with the amounts listed in EIV. SAHA will use an average of the last two quarters of income listed in EIV to determine income from employment. SAHA will provide the family with the information in EIV. The family will be required to sign a self -certification stating that the amount listed in EIV is accurate and representative of current income. If the family disagrees with using only the last two quarters of income listed in EIV, because of the seasonal or otherwise fluctuating nature of a particular family member's employment, SAHA will permit the family to sign a self -certification stating that the average of all four quarters of income listed in EIV is accurate and representative of current annual income and use that amount for calculating annual income. If the family disagrees and contends that the amount listed in EIV is not reflective of current income, or if less than two quarters are available in EIV, SAHA will use written third -party verification from the source as outlined below. SAHA will not use this method of verification at new admission since EIV is not available for applicant families or at interim reexamination since the income information in EIV is not current. Written Third -Party Verification from the Source Written, third -party verification from the source is also known as "tenant -provided verification." In order to qualify as written -third party verification from the source, the documents must be original or authentic and (generally) dated within 120 days of the date received by the PHA. For fixed -income sources, a statement dated within the appropriate benefit year is acceptable documentation. The PHA may use the verification obtained during an interim reexamination for an annual reexamination if there have been no other changes to annual income since the interim reexamination. Documents may be supplied by the family or received from a third -party source. 025 City Council — 381 5 2 25
