Upfront Income Verification PLUS |
An intensive one-day review of recent and imminent HUD rule changes, including UIV
UIV Plus is a one-day training course examining the broad potential impact of Upfront Income Verification (UIV) in addition to several other recent developments.
Who Should Attend
Individuals involved in any way with regulatory compliance at HUD-subsidized housing.
Overview
On January 27, 2009, HUD anounced in the Federal Register a final ruling known as Upfront Income Verification (UIV).
UIV comprises a sweeping set of changes that would impact core aspects of occupancy management such as eligibility, income calculations, and verifications. To help housing professionals get up to speed quickly on this and other new rules, NCHM has developed UIV Plus, a special one-day workshop that examines the many ways UIV may alter the definitions and rules of occupancy management. In addition to UIV, the program will focus on other important regulatory and policy issues such as the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), IMAX/202C, and Fair Housing policy.
The Final Rule originally established March 30, 2009 as the rule’s effective date. Although HUD has recently indicated the possibility of a 60-day delay in the rule’s implementation, UIV Plus will give housing professionals the training they need to ensure that their occupancy practices are compliant today and tomorrow.
What You Will Learn
The class will explore the significant ways in which UIV would depart from established practices. Changes include:
- Requires that individuals who declare themselves as U.S. citizens have their status verified.
- Requires PHAs and Owner Agents to use Enterprise Income Verification (EIV).
- Revises the definition of “annual income.”
- Makes some conforming rules for the HOME program
- Requires documentation of Social Security numbers for all family members.
- Reiterates there will be penalties for non-compliance on the part of any entity or individual.
Students will also learn all about the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA); IMAX/202C; and how reasonable accommodations policies should be defined to comply with HUD and JOD regulations
