17-III.H. ENSURING THE AVAILABILITY OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITINFORMATION IN THE EIV SYSTEM: [24 CFR 5.216]In accordance with 24 CFR 5.233(a)(2)(ii), PHAs are required to use EIV to reduceadministrative and subsidy payment errors. As such, PHAs are required to use EIV’sIdentity Verification Report on a monthly basis to improve the availability of incomeinformation in EIV.

Below is a summary of how these reports can bebeneficial to the PHA. Failed SSA Screening Report: informs the PHA of any tenant whose identitycannot be confirmed by the SSA due to incorrect personal identifiers (date ofbirth, surname, and/or SSN) recorded in section 3 of the form HUD-50058. PHAstaff should review this report on a monthly basis, obtain appropriatedocumentation from the tenant, update section 3 of the form HUD-50058,accordingly, and transmit a revised form HUD-50058 into PIC. Failed EIV Pre-screening Report: informs the PHA of any tenant who hasfailed HUD’s EIV pre-screening process due to incorrect personal identifiers (dateof birth, surname, and/or SSN) or invalid form HUD-50058 transmitted (e.g.effective date of action is more than 15 months ago). Staff should review thisreport on a monthly basis, obtain appropriate documentation from the tenant,update section 3 of the form HUD-50058, accordingly, and transmit a revisedform HUD-50058 into PIC.See EXHIBIT 17-2 for a summary of EIV failed verification error descriptions,explanations, and corrective actions PHAs should take in order to ensure theavailability of social security benefit information in EIV and incorrect tenantpersonal identifiers are promptly corrected.Page 17- 10 Revised/Approved 04/08/10 (Eff: 07/01/10)

EXHIBIT 17-1: EXCERPT FROM HUD VERIFICATION OF SOCIALSECURITY NUMBERS (SSNs), SOCIAL SECURITY (SS), ANDSUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME (SSI) BENEFITSNOTICE (PIH 2010-03, pp. 12)Example 1: Bob’s gross monthly SSI benefit is $500 (or $6,000 annually) . OnFebruary 1, 2010, Bob brings in a letter showing that SSA has determined that he hasbeen overpaid by $100, and will begin deducting 10% ($50) from his monthly checkon March 1, 2010. Note that this deduction would occur for only two months(March and April). The PHA would calculate annual income at $5,400 ($500 - $50=$450 X 12) and Bob’s rent contribution should be changed for two months; howeveronce the deduction ends (May 2010), annual income should be recalculated again,and the full SSI benefit should again be used to calculate annual income.Example 2: Sue’s gross monthly SSI benefit is $500 (or $6,000 annually). OnFebruary 1, 2010, Sue brings in a letter showing that SSA has determined that she hasbeen overpaid by $2,000, and will begin deducting 10% ($50) from her monthlycheck on March 1, 2010.
