HUD HCV Guidebook § 2.2

PHAs must15 follow these requirements for interim redeterminations of income and family composition.
    PHAs must16 process an interim whenever one is requested by the family.
    PHAs may conduct an interim reexamination at any time.
    PHAs must17 adopt policies prescribing when and under what conditions the family must report a
      change in family income or composition and the timeframe within which the PHA will complete the
      interim redetermination. These policies must18 be in each PHA’s administrative plan.

PHAs may have a policy to process increases in income between annual reexaminations or may have a policy
that no interim will be conducted for an increase in income between annual reexaminations.

In 2016, HUD adopted new regulations that allows for uniform policies related to interim reexaminations for
the HCV and Pubic Housing Programs. Under the new regulations, PHAs may have a policy to streamline an
interim reexamination when a family member is added without completing a full redetermination of income.
This change allows PHAs to align their policies for their housing choice voucher and public housing
programs.19

As part of this streamlined interim reexamination, the PHA is still required to verify eligibility of the new
member, including social security number, criminal background, and citizenship, and submit a HUD-50058,
including any applicable deductions, with the new household member’s information. However, the PHA does
not have to collect and verify the new family member’s Income information until the next scheduled annual
reexamination. The PHA must20 adopt this policy in the administrative plan.
