2. Other EIV Income Reports (Income Discrepancy Report, New Hires Report, No Income Reported on 50059, and No Income Reported by HHS or SSA) to identify issues or discrepancies which may impact a family’s assistance; and

3. EIV Verification Reports (Existing Tenant Search, Multiple Subsidy Report, Identity Verification Reports, and Deceased Tenants Report) that further assists in reducing subsidy payment errors.

• B. Owners must:

  1. Use the Existing Tenant Search in EIV as part of their screening criteria for new tenants and must include written policies for using the search in their Tenant Selection Plan. (See Chapter 4, Section 1 for a discussion on requirements of the Tenant Selection Plan.)

  2. Develop policies and procedures for staff to follow for using the EIV Income reports and remaining Verification Reports

  3. Have current, signed consent forms HUD-9887 on file before accessing the employment and income information in EIV for a tenant. (See Chapter 3, Paragraph 3-11 for a discussion on the requirements on consent forms.)

• C. Owners may not suspend, terminate, reduce, make a final denial of rental assistance, or take any other adverse action against an individual based solely on the date in EIV. See Chapter 8, Section 4 for information on investigating discrepancies and errors and determining fraud.
