The updated form HUD-50058 must79 be sent to the initial PHA no later than 10 business days following the
effective date of the reexamination. Receiving PHA’s are strongly encouraged to send the updated form as
soon as the family’s reexamination is complete.
For special purpose vouchers, the receiving PHA must80 maintain the appropriate special purpose codes on
the HUD-50058 while billing.Under HUD Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook § 5.11, when a family uses portability to move to a new jurisdiction, the receiving Public Housing Authority (PHA) is required to send an updated Form HUD-50058 to the initial PHA at every annual and interim reexamination, for as long as the receiving PHA is billing the initial PHA on the family's behalf. This requirement applies even when the billing amount has not changed. The updated form must reach the initial PHA within 10 business days of the reexamination's effective date, and any portability billing form (HUD-52665) that reports a change in billing amount must also be accompanied by a copy of the HUD-50058.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section § 5.11 of the HUD Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook primarily governs PHA-to-PHA administrative obligations rather than landlord conduct, but property owners participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program should be aware that timely reexamination paperwork between PHAs can affect billing and subsidy continuity. Compliant operators generally cooperate with both the initial and receiving PHA during reexamination processes, providing requested documentation promptly so that the HUD-50058 can be completed and transmitted within the required 10-business-day window. Landlords managing units with special purpose vouchers should confirm with the receiving PHA that the appropriate special purpose codes are being maintained on the HUD-50058 throughout the billing period.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under HUD Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook § 5.11, families who have ported their voucher to a new jurisdiction have an interest in ensuring that their reexamination paperwork is processed correctly, since the receiving PHA's timely submission of the updated HUD-50058 to the initial PHA supports uninterrupted subsidy billing. If a family believes there has been a delay or error in the reexamination process, they may raise the issue directly with the receiving PHA, contact the initial PHA, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Families with special purpose vouchers can also inquire with the receiving PHA to confirm that the correct special purpose codes are being maintained on their HUD-50058 as required by this provision.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
