Operative Text

HUD Handbook 4350.3 § 5-20
The data in EIV contains personal information on individual tenants that is covered by
         the Privacy Act. The information in EIV may only be used for limited official purposes.

         A.     Owners, in connection with the administration of their project, may only use the
                employment and income information in EIV at the time of recertification, or at
                other times as addressed in their policies and procedures.

         B.     Owners cannot share the EIV income information with governmental entities not
                involved in the recertification process used for HUD’s assisted housing programs,
                e.g., the LIHTC program and RHS Section 515 program.

         See Chapter 9, Enterprise Income Verification (EIV), for additional information on official
         use of EIV information.*
