HUD HCV Guidebook § 5.6

The receiving PHA may subsequently extend its own voucher’s term. Any extensions of search time provided
by the receiving PHA are only valid for the family’s search in the receiving PHA’s jurisdiction. The receiving PHA
must69 notify the initial PHA of any extensions of the voucher term. The receiving PHA may also request that
the initial PHA extend the term of the initial voucher, however, the initial PHA is under no obligation to do so.

When extending the voucher, receiving PHAs need to consider the billing deadline. The receiving PHA must70
ensure that any voucher expiration date leaves sufficient time to process a Request for Tenancy Approval,
execute the HAP contract, and cover the anticipated delivery time (if the PHA is not submitting the billing
information by fax or email) of the initial billing. If the initial billing is not received by the initial PHA by the
deadline date, the receiving PHA will generally have to absorb the voucher unless the initial PHA accepts the
late billing.
