EXHIBIT 1 SAHA Polic SAHA will verify compliance with the education, workforce development, or employment requirement, or one of the statutory exceptions, at the end of the 36-month and 48-month time periods prior to the FYI voucher holder's scheduled annual reexamination. SAHA will not verify compliance at the end of the 60-month time period. SAHA will provide each FYI voucher holder on SAHA's program with a written notification informing them that they may receive an extension of their FYI assistance if they meet conditions outlined in this chapter and providing them with instructions on how they may demonstrate compliance at least 60 days prior to their scheduled annual reexamination date. When necessary, SAHA will provide this notification in a format accessible to FYI voucher holders with disabilities and in a translated format for FYI voucher holders with limited English proficiency in accordance with Chapter 2. SAHA will use the following verification methods to verify an FYI voucher holder's eligibility for voucher extensions: To verify compliance with the FSS requirement, SAHA will examine its records to confirm, or obtain confirmation from SAHA's FSS program staff, that the FYI participant is in compliance with FSS program requirements and has not been terminated from the FSS program. To meet the education, workforce development, or employment requirement, SAHA will verify that the FYI voucher holder was engaged in at least one education, workforce development, or employment activity for at least nine months of the 12-month period immediately preceding the end of the 36-month or 48-month time period, as applicable. Due to the timing of when SAHA verifies compliance and conducts the annual reexamination, the FYI voucher holder may have not yet met the nine -month requirement but may be able to demonstrate that they will meet the nine -month requirement as of the end of the 36-month or 48- month time period. In such cases, the FYI voucher holder will still be considered to have met the requirements. In order for the FYI voucher holder to meet one of the statutory exceptions described above, the FYI voucher holder must submit a certification to SAHA that they meet one of these exceptions. This certification is the only documentation that the FYI voucher holder must submit in order to demonstrate that they meet one of the statutory exceptions. An FYI voucher holder who received an extension of voucher assistance at the end of the 36- month time period based on meeting one of the conditions described in this chapter does not have to meet the same conditions when they reach the end of the 48-month time period. The FYI voucher holder may demonstrate that they meet a different condition in order to receive an extension of their assistance. Page - 025 City Council 5 — 868 5 2 25
