Enterprise Income Verification Specialist (EIVS)

Be More than Technically Proficient – Become a Professional with EIVS

The use of HUD’s Enterprise Income Verification system (EIV) is mandatory for all HUD programs. With the right training, you can become a specialist in an essential function in the housing industry.

EIV was developed as a tool to simplify the income verification process and improve the accuracy of tenant rent calculations. Use of the system has been mandatory since January 2010.

EIVS covers everything you need to know about the HUD Enterprise Income Verification system including its purpose, how it developed, how to sign up, how to maintain access, which reports are required, how to interpret reports, how to resolve any discrepancies and how to ensure the security of the data.

The EIVS is appropriate for all managers, assistant managers, compliance staff and any other persons involved with the tenant certification process.

Please note: EIVS is delivered entirely online. The EIVS certification exam is also given online, and students have one week from the completion of the course to take the exam.
