EIV FORM‐1 To: Applicants • If you are submitting an application for residency at a HUD property, PMI will verify household data using the Secure HUD

EIV System. This includes household income, including critical data (birth dates, names, and social security numbers). For additional

information, please see the EIV & You brochure, which is available upon request.

Owner’s Notice No. 1 Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980, as amended, prohibits the Secretary of HUD from making financial

assistance available to persons other than U.S. citizens or nationals, or certain categories of eligible noncitizens, in the following HUD

programs:

a. Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments programs;

b. Section 236 of the National Housing Act including Rental Assistance Payment (RAP); and

c. Section 101/Rent Supplement Program.

You have applied, or are applying for, assistance under one of these programs; therefore, you are required to declare U.S. Citizenship or

submit evidence of eligible immigration status for each of your family members for whom you are seeking housing assistance. You

must do the following:

1. Complete a Family Summary Sheet during the interview process.

2. Each family member (including you) listed on the Family Summary Sheet must complete a **Citizenship** Declaration.

3. Each family member must provide evidence of eligible immigration status.

This Section 214 review will be completed in conjunction with the verification of other aspects of eligibility for assistance. If you have any

questions or difficulty in completing the attached items or determining the type of documentation required, please contact the Property

Manager. He/she will be happy to assist you. Also, if you are unable to provide the required documentation with your application, you should

immediately contact this office and request an extension, using the block provided on the **Citizenship** Declaration Format. Failure to

provide this information or establish eligible status may result in your not being considered for housing assistance.

If this Section 214 review results in a determination of ineligibility, you will have an opportunity to appeal the decision. Also, if the final

determination concludes that only certain members of your family are eligible for assistance, your family may be eligible for proration of

assistance. That means that when assistance is available, a reduced amount may be provided for your family based on the number of members

who are eligible.

If assistance becomes available and the other aspects of your eligibility review show that you are eligible for housing assistance, that assistance

may be provided to you if at least one member of your household has submitted the required documentation. Following verification of the

documentation submitted by all family members, assistance may be adjusted depending on the immigration status verified. You will be

contacted as soon as we have further information regarding your eligibility for assistance.

Legal Notification: Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550, approved October 28, 1992) requires each applicant for federally assisted housing to be offered the option of providing information regarding an additional contact person or organization. By accepting the applicant’s application, the housing provider agrees to comply with the non-discrimination and equal opportunity requirements of 24 CFR section 5.105, including the prohibitions on discrimination in admission to or participation in federally assisted housing programs on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status under the Fair Housing Act, and the prohibition on age discrimination under the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.

Signature of Applicant Date

The information collection requirements contained in this form were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The public reporting burden is estimated at 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13604) imposed on HUD the obligation to require housing providers participating in HUD’s assisted housing programs to provide any individual or family applying for occupancy in HUD-assisted housing with the option to include in the application for occupancy the name, address, telephone number, and other relevant information of a family member, friend, or person associated with a social, health, advocacy, or similar organization. The objective of providing such information is to facilitate contact by the housing provider with the person or organization identified by the tenant to assist in providing any delivery of services or special care to the tenant and assist with resolving any tenancy issues arising during the tenancy of such tenant. This supplemental application information is to be maintained by the housing provider and maintained as confidential information. Providing the information is basic to the operations of the HUD Assisted-Housing Program and is voluntary. It supports statutory requirements and program and management controls that prevent fraud, waste and mismanagement. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The information collection requirements contained in this form were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The public reporting burden is estimated at 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13604) imposed on HUD the obligation to require housing providers participating in HUD’s assisted housing programs to provide any individual or family applying for occupancy in HUD-assisted housing with the option to include in the application for occupancy the name, address, telephone number, and other relevant information of a family member, friend, or person associated with a social, health, advocacy, or similar organization. The objective of providing such information is to facilitate contact by the housing provider with the person or organization identified by the tenant to assist in providing any delivery of services or special care to the tenant and assist with resolving any tenancy issues arising during the tenancy of such tenant. This supplemental application information is to be maintained by the housing provider and maintained as confidential information. Providing the information is basic to the operations of the HUD Assisted-Housing Program and is voluntary. It supports statutory requirements and program and management controls that prevent fraud, waste and mismanagement. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number.

or income when you recertify for continued rental

assistance. Getting the information from the EIV

system is more accurate and less time consuming

and costly to the owner or manager than contacting

your income source directly for verification.

receives the information from the income source, you

willbe notified in writing of the results.

What if I did not report income

previously and it is now being

reported in EIV? If the EIV report discloses income from a prior period

thaiyou did not report, you have two options: 1)

you can agree wtlh the EIV report if it is correct,

or 2) you can dispute the report if you believe it is

incorrect. The property owner or manager will then

conduct a written third party verification with the

reporting source of mcome. If the source confirms

this income is accurate, you will be required to repay

any overpaid rentalassistance as far back as five

(5) years and you may be subject to penalties if it is

determined that you deliberately tried to conceal your

income.
