h. Identifying former tenants of PIH rental assistance programs who voluntarily or involuntarily left the program and have a reportable adverse status and/or owe money to a PHA or Section 8 landlord. If family does not dispute the EIV employer data, HUD allows SAHA to use current acceptable tenant-provided documentation (generated by a third party source) and where SAHA does not determine it is necessary to obtain additional third-party data, to project annual income. Current acceptable tenant-provided documentation (generated by a third party source) include, but are not limited to: pay stubs, payroll summary report, employer notice/letter of hire/termination, SSA benefit verification letter, bank statements, child support payment stubs, welfare benefit letters and/or printouts, and unemployment monetary benefit notices. Current acceptable family-provided documents must be dated within the last 60 days of SAHA's interview date. SAHA will follow "HUD Guidelines for Projecting Annual Income When EIV Data Is Available" in handling differences between EIV and family-provided income data. The guidelines depend on whether a difference is substantial or not. HUD defines substantial difference as a difference of $200 or more per month. SAHA will obtain written and/or oral third-party verification in accordance with the verification requirements and policy in Chapter 7 in the following cases: If EIV or other UIV data is not available, If the family disputes the accuracy of the EIV employer data, and/or If SAHA determines additional information is needed. 6-LD. EARNED INCOME Types of Earned Income Included in Annual Income Wages and Related Compensation. The full amount, before any payroll deductions, of wages and salaries, overtime pay, commissions, fees, tips and bonuses, and other compensation for personal services is included in annual income [24 CFR 5.609(b)(1)]. For persons who regularly receive bonuses or commissions, SAHA will verify and then average amounts received for the two years preceding admission or reexamination. If only cone-year history is available, SAHA will use the prior year amounts. In either case the family may provide, and SAHA will consider, a credible justification for not using this history to anticipate future bonuses or commissions. If a new employee has not yet received any bonuses or commissions, SAHA will count only the amount estimated by the employer. Some Types of Military Pay. All regular pay, special pay and allowances of a member of the Armed Forces are counted [24 CFR 5.609(b)(8)] except for the special pay to a family member serving in the Armed Forces who is exposed to hostile fire [24 CFR 5.609(c)(7)]. iii29iio Page 6-7
