B. 24 CFR 5.216 Disclosure and Verification of Social Security and Employer

System*Section 3-24 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 serves as a regulatory index, pointing readers to three federal rules that govern how eligibility factors are verified in HUD-assisted housing programs. These rules address how family information is collected and confirmed, how Social Security and Employer Identification Numbers must be disclosed and verified, and how owners and agents are required to use HUD's Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system. The provision itself does not establish new requirements but consolidates the key citations that underpin the verification process described in Section 3.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of HUD-assisted housing programs should treat § 3-24 as a navigational reference that anchors their verification procedures to three specific federal regulations. Compliant operators generally maintain familiarity with 24 CFR 5.659 on family information, 24 CFR 5.216 on Social Security and Employer Identification Number disclosure, and 24 CFR 5.233 on mandatory EIV system use, ensuring their internal policies align with each. Reviewing these underlying citations alongside § 3-24 helps property managers confirm that their eligibility verification workflows meet federal standards.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For tenants and applicants in HUD-assisted housing, § 3-24 identifies the federal rules that govern how a property owner or manager is permitted to collect and verify personal information, including Social Security numbers and income data. Understanding that 24 CFR 5.659, 24 CFR 5.216, and 24 CFR 5.233 set the boundaries for these verification practices can help residents recognize when a request for information may fall outside established federal guidelines. Tenants who believe verification procedures are being applied improperly may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or reach out to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for general guidance.
