Delay granted for changes to HUD's rent and income policies & EIV usage

Another delay, this time through Jan. 31, 2010:

HUD announced in the August 28, 2009 Federal Register that implementation of the rule entitled "Refinement of Income and Rent Determination Requirements in Public and Assisted Housing Programs" (first published in the Federal Register on January 27, 2009), has been further delayed until January 31, 2010. Significant issues to be considered include comments requesting that HUD clarify the definition of annual income, questions concerning how the rule would affect participants that might have difficulty obtaining social security numbers for their children, and noted confusion regarding the use of HUD's EIV system.

Changes to the occupancy portions of the rule, including requirements to verify citizen/non-citizen status, that all family members must disclose a valid Social Security number, and new income calculations, originally scheduled to be effective on March 30, 2009, will now become effective on January 31, 2010.
