HUD announced on October 19, 2026, that the newest EIV feature, the EIV-SAVE Tenant Matching Report, has been updated for the first time since its initial release in May of 2026. HUD Multifamily Housing owners and agents are required to review and resolve discrepancies no later than December 19, 2026.
The tool serves as an additional check to ensure that HUD assistance is provided exclusively to US citizens and eligible non-citizens. Only projects that have a discrepancy will be featured in the report; if you don’t see your project listed, there are no discrepancies between what your site has reported on its 50059 TRACS submissions and immigration data held by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). EIV Users must investigate the tenant files for any residents that appear on the report and ensure that the required citizenship documentation is present.
The report is listed under “External Links” on the EIV main page. Look for the USCIS Response (the last column of the report) for each tenant listed. Confirm receipt of appropriate evidence of eligible immigration status for each individual. If you do not find appropriate evidence, you must then obtain it. You may also be required to run a new SAVE report (not to be confused with this EIV-SAVE Tenant Matching Report) in the DHS’s own system.
Remember:
- US citizens must only sign a declaration of citizenship.
- Eligible non-citizens 62 and over must sign a declaration and provide a proof of age document.
- Eligible non-citizens under 62 must sign a declaration and provide DHS documentation.
- Ineligible non-citizens do not appear on the EIV-SAVE Tenant Matching Report.
If you discover any other discrepancies while reviewing files – such as errors in the resident’s name, date of birth, or Social Security Number – be sure to correct the most recent 50059 to reflect accurate information.
Keep the EIV-SAVE Tenant Matching Report in the master file and in the tenant’s own file, accompanied by the notes you’ve made regarding how you resolved any discrepancies.
