H 2010-02: Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) & You Brochure – Requirements for Distribution and Use (1/11/10)

This HUD notice clarifies that owners and management agents of federally-subsidized or assisted multifamily developments must provide the HUD EIV & You brochure and HUD Fact Sheet entitled “How Your Rent is Determined” to each tenant household as well as to applicant households that have been selected from the waiting list for screening and final application processing. The EIV system is the central database from which housing authorities and the aforementioned owners/managements agents may obtain the income data of tenants and applicants. Through a matching agreement between HUD and HHS and SSA, EIV gathers and maintains wage, income and benefit information. Among other things, the brochure is intended to inform tenants and applicants that owners and managements agents have access to certain of their personal and income information.
