HUD HCV Guidebook § 5.1.1
When a PHA chooses the anniversary date as the reexamination date, the PHA conducts a full reexamination
of family composition and income to be effective the first of the month on the anniversary of the family’s HAP
contract for the unit they currently reside. Because a PHA may not exceed 12-months between annual
reexaminations, if the family’s HAP contract is effective after the first of the month, the next reexamination is
due one year later effective the first of the previous month. In example 1, a sample of how the anniversary
date of the HAP contract relates to the reexamination date is provided.
Example 1: Anniversary and Annual Reexamination Dates
A family is leasing up under the program for the first time.
The effective date of the family’s lease and the PHA’s HAP contract with the owner is May 15, 2019.
The latest date this family’s first annual reexamination can be effect is May 1, 2020.Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
