. Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 7-43 Pursuing an Eligible Activity The PHA must verify that the family member(s) that the family has identified as being enabled to seek work, pursue education, or be gainfully employed, are actually pursuing those activities. SAHA Policy Information to be Gathered SAHA will verify information about how the schedule for the claimed activity relates to the hours of care provided, the time required for transportation, the time required for study (for students), the relationship of the family member(s) to the child, and any special needs of the child that might help determine which family member is enabled to pursue an eligible activity. Seeking Work Whenever possible SAHA will use documentation from a state or local agency that monitors work-related requirements (e.g., welfare or unemployment). In such cases SAHA will request family-provided verification from the agency of the member’s job seeking efforts to date, and require the family to submit to SAHA any reports provided to the other agency. In the event third-party verification is not available, SAHA will provide the family with a form on which the family member must record job search efforts. SAHA will review this information at each subsequent reexamination for which this deduction is claimed. Furthering Education SAHA will request third-party documentation to verify that the person permitted to further their education by the childcare is enrolled and provide information about the timing of classes for which the person is registered. The documentation may be provided by the family. Gainful Employment SAHA will seek third-party verification of the work schedule of the person who is permitted to work by the childcare. In cases in which two or more family members could be permitted to work, the work schedules for all relevant family members may be verified. The documentation may be provided by the family. EXHIBIT 1
