For Property Managers

Property owners and managers administering HUD-assisted housing programs should be aware that § 9-3 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 points directly to 24 CFR 5.233 as the mandatory regulatory basis for EIV system use. Compliant operators generally ensure that staff responsible for income certifications are trained on EIV access and usage requirements as prescribed by that federal regulation. Maintaining documentation of EIV queries and results is a standard practice associated with meeting the obligations rooted in 24 CFR 5.233.

For Tenants

Tenants living in HUD-assisted housing should know that § 9-3 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 references 24 CFR 5.233, the federal rule requiring property owners to use HUD's EIV system when verifying household income. This means that income and employment data on file with federal agencies may be used as part of the certification process for determining rent and eligibility. Tenants who have questions about how their income information is being verified or used may contact their local HUD field office, a HUD-approved housing counseling agency, or a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
