PIH Notice § 2013-23 extends earlier HUD guidance (PIH Notice 2010-19) requiring Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to use HUD's Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system when determining tenant income and rent in public housing and Section 8 programs. The EIV system is mandated under 24 CFR § 5.233, which took effect in January 2010, and this notice keeps that administrative guidance active through September 1, 2014. The notice does not create new substantive rules but reinforces existing obligations around income verification procedures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Public Housing Agencies and program administrators covered by PIH Notice § 2013-23 are generally expected to maintain active, compliant use of HUD's EIV system as part of their income and rent determination processes under 24 CFR § 5.233. Compliant operators typically ensure that staff are trained on EIV procedures, that the system is consulted during annual and interim recertifications, and that any discrepancies identified through EIV are documented and resolved according to HUD guidelines. Questions about implementation can be directed to the local HUD field office or the contact provided in the notice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under PIH Notice § 2013-23, residents and applicants in Public Housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and Project-Based Voucher programs should be aware that PHAs are required to use HUD's EIV system to verify income information used in calculating rent. If a tenant believes their income has been incorrectly reported or that EIV data has led to an inaccurate rent determination, they may raise this concern during their recertification process or through their PHA's grievance procedures. Tenant councils, local HUD field offices, or tenant-rights organizations can be resources for understanding how EIV-related determinations may be challenged.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
