24 CFR 5.233 Mandated Use of HUD’s Enterprise Income Verification

Federal agency
24 CFR 5.659 Family information and verification.Section 9-7 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 serves as a regulatory index, pointing to three federal rules that govern income verification in HUD-assisted housing: 24 CFR 5.233 (mandating use of the Enterprise Income Verification system), 24 CFR 5.236 (procedures for terminating, denying, suspending, or reducing assistance based on verified information), and 24 CFR 5.659 (family information and verification requirements).

Operators of HUD-assisted properties should treat HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 9-7 as a compliance roadmap, since it identifies the three core federal citations—24 CFR 5.233, 5.236, and 5.659—that govern how income verification must be conducted and how assistance actions must be processed. Compliant operators generally maintain familiarity with each cited regulation, ensure staff are trained on EIV system use as required under 24 CFR 5.233, and follow the procedural requirements of 24 CFR 5.236 before taking any adverse assistance action. Keeping these regulatory cross-references on hand helps property management teams align day-to-day practices with federal requirements.

For tenants living in HUD-assisted housing, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 9-7 identifies the federal rules—24 CFR 5.233, 5.236, and 5.659—that govern how a property owner must verify income and handle any resulting changes to assistance. Under 24 CFR 5.236, there are specific procedural requirements that must be followed before assistance can be terminated, denied, suspended, or reduced, which tenants may be able to raise if those steps were not observed. Tenants who believe these regulations were not properly followed can explore options such as contacting a local tenant-rights organization, reaching out to HUD directly, or consulting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's complaint processes.
