Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 7-18 <br />When Third-Party Verification is Not Required [Notice PIH 2023-27] <br />Third-party verification may not be available in all situations. HUD has acknowledged that it <br />may not be cost-effective or reasonable to obtain third-party verification of income, assets, or <br />expenses when these items would have a minimal impact on the family’s total tenant payment. <br />SAHA Policy <br />If the family cannot provide original documents, SAHA will pay the service charge <br />required to obtain third-party verification, unless it is not cost effective in which case a <br />self-certification will be acceptable as the only means of verification. The cost of <br />verification will not be passed on to the family. <br />The cost of postage and envelopes to obtain third-party verification of income, assets, and <br />expenses is not an unreasonable cost [VG, p. 18]. <br />Primary Documents <br />Third-party verification is not required when legal documents are the primary source, such as a <br />birth certificate or other legal documentation of birth. <br />EXHIBIT 1
