        B.       Owners must use the EIV system in its entirety:

                         As a third party source to verify tenant employment and income
                          information during mandatory recertifications of family composition and
                          income, in accordance with 24 CFR 5.236, and administrative guidance
                          issued by HUD, and

                         To reduce administrative and subsidy payment errors in accordance with
                          HUD administrative guidance.

        C.       Contract Administrators (HUD staff, PBCAs and TCAs) must use EIV for
                 monitoring the owner’s compliance with obtaining access to and using the EIV
                 system.

        D.       Independent Public Auditors (IPAs) and the Office of Inspector General (OIG)
                 may use EIV for auditing purposes. See the Glossary for the definition for IPA.
