HUD Sets Date for UIV Implementation: September 30, 2009

HUD has published a Federal Register notice today setting the implementation date for their "Refinement and Income Determination requirements" (also known as Upfront Income Verification) as September 30, 2009.  This date applies to both Public Housing Authorities and Owners/Agents.

The final rule also gave owners/agents presently without access to EIV a deadline of September 30, 2009 to make that transition.  HUD has determined no additional delays beyond that date are needed. 

HUD has also stated the September 30, 2009 deadline will give the agency the opportunity to review the comments on the Final Rule and to make any changes it deems appropriate.  HUD has thus far not made any specific changes to the Final Rule other than the effective date beyond the exemption from the Social Security number rule it proposes for mixed families that include a non-citizen who does not wish to contend eligible status, that was contained in their February 11th notification considering the delay..
