. Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 11-7 <br />Step 3: If there were changes in annual income not processed by the PHA since the last <br />reexamination, the PHA must use current income. The family will be required to report their <br />income for the prior year and whether there have been permanent changes. <br />If there are no reported changes to an income source, the PHA may use documentation of prior- <br />year income to calculate the annual income. For example, the PHA may use the following <br />documentation: <br /> EIV + self-certification (wages, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security, and <br />unemployment) <br /> Current written third-party verification from the source verifying prior-year income that is <br />dated within 120 days of receipt by the PHA, for example: <br />- Year-end statements <br />- Paystub with year-to-date amounts <br />- Tax forms (Form 1040, W2, 1099, etc.) <br />If there are reported changes by the family or the PHA notes discrepancies between EIV and <br />what the family reports, the PHA must follow the verification hierarchy (described in Chapter 7) <br />to document and verify income. Exhibit 11-1 provides detailed examples of how the PHA <br />calculates income from different sources at annual reexamination using the above method. <br />11-I.F. EFFECTIVE DATES <br />The PHA must establish policies concerning the effective date of changes that result from an <br />annual reexamination [24 CFR 982.516]. <br />SAHA Policy <br />In general, an increase in the family share of the rent that results from an annual <br />reexamination will take effect on the family’s anniversary date, and the family will be <br />notified at least 30 days in advance. <br />If less than 30 days remain before the scheduled effective date, the increase will <br />take effect on the first of the month following the end of the 30-day notice period. <br />If a family moves to a new unit, the increase will take effect on the effective date <br />of the new lease and HAP contract, and no 30-day notice is required. <br />If the family causes a delay in processing the annual reexamination, increases in <br />the family share of the rent will be applied retroactively to the scheduled effective <br />date of the annual reexamination. The family will be responsible for any overpaid <br />subsidy and may be offered a repayment agreement in accordance with the <br />policies in Chapter 16. <br />In general, a decrease in the family share of the rent that results from an annual <br />reexamination will take effect on the family’s anniversary date. <br />If a family moves to a new unit, the decrease will take effect on the effective date <br />of the new lease and HAP contract. <br />EXHIBIT 1
