INTERIM RECERTIFICATION. If any of the following changes occur, the Member agrees to advise the cooperative immediately:
a. If any household member moves out of the unit or another household member moves in;
b. If an adult member of the household, who was reported as unemployed on the most recent certification or recertification, obtains employment
c. If the household=s income cumulatively increases by $40.00 or more per month. The member may report any decrease in income or any change in other factors considered in calculating the member=s monthly carrying charges. Unless the Cooperative has confirmation that the decrease in income or change in other factors will last less than one month, the Cooperative will verify the information and make the appropriate reduction in charges. However, if the Member=s income will be partially or fully restored within two (2) months, the Cooperative may delay the certification process until the new income is known, but the reduction in charges will be retroactive and the Cooperative may not evict the member for nonpayment of charges due during the period of the reported decrease and the completion of the certification process. The member has thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of any rent due for the above-described time period to pay or the Cooperative can evict for nonpayment of monthly carrying charges. If the Member does not advise the Cooperative of these interim changes, the Cooperative may increase the Member=s monthly carrying charges to the approved market rent. The Member may request to meet with the Cooperative to discuss how any change in income or other factors affected his monthly carrying charges or assistance payment, if any. If the Member=s requests such a meeting, the Cooperative agrees to meet with the Member and explain how the member=s charges or assistance payment, if any, were computed.
INTERIM RECERTIFICATION. To ensure that assisted tenants pay rents commensurate with their ability to pay, tenants must supply information requested by the owner or HUD for use in an interim recertification of family income and composition in accordance with HUD requirements. All tenants must notify the owner when:
INTERIM RECERTIFICATION. Rent will not change during the period between biennial recertification except in the following circumstances:
1. Tenant-initiated Interim Recertification: Upon request, the Tenant may have their rent re- determined twice between scheduled biennial recertification. Seniors at least age 58 and/or disabled households have no limit on interim redeterminations.
a. If the Household has opted for an interim rent reduction, it must report the first increase to income and/ or decreased childcare or medical expenses – whatever previously caused the rent reduction – to CHA within 14 days of its occurrence. Failure to report such an increase within 14 days results in retroactive rent changes and possible lease termination.
b. CHA will process an interim decrease in rent only if the household’s loss of income or increased childcare or medical costs is expected to last longer than 60 days except in cases of serious medical conditions expected to last longer than 30 days, and the loss of income must result in the household moving at least one band on the Rent Schedule.
2. CHA-initiated Interim Recertification: CHA may process an increase in rent between biennial recertification if:
a. There is a change in the circumstances that initially required an interim reduced rent; or
b. The Household is paying the minimum rent and receives new income, or the household has been paying minimum rent for 12 months and is required under Admissions and Continued Occupancy Plan (ACOP), or Administrative Plan, as applicable, to pay at the second or third income band on the rent schedule depending on development; or
c. The Household misrepresented or failed to report facts that CHA used or would have used to determine the household’s rent, with the result that the household was paying less rent than it would have otherwise paid.
3. Rents may be changed between biennial recertification if rent formulas or procedures are changed by the Board of Commissioners or by applicable Federal law or regulation.
4. Rents may change if there are changes in family composition that add or decrease income to the family. Tenants must receive permission to add or delete any members to the household. This is not deemed to be an Interim Recertification.
INTERIM RECERTIFICATION. The rental rate indicated in Part I, Section III. A of this Lease remains in effect for the period between Re-certifications for continued occupancy unless any of the following occurs in which event DHC will perform an Interim Recertification:
1. There is any change in household composition, whether by birth, death, marriage, dissolution of marriage or other changed circumstances.
2. For families receiving the Earned Income Disallowance (EID), DHC will conduct an interim reexamination at the start, to adjust the exclusion with any changes in income, and at the conclusion of the 24- m o n t h eligibility period.
3. If the family has reported zero annual income, i.e., the income is fully excluded for the purposes of calculating rent, DHC will conduct an interim reexamination every 6 months as long as the family continues to report that it has no income.
4. If at the time of the annual reexamination, it is not feasible to anticipate a level of income for the next 12 months such as for seasonal or cyclic income, DHC will schedule an interim reexamination to coincide with the end of the period for which it is feasible to project income.
5. If at the time of the annual reexamination, resident-provided documents were used on a provisional basis due to the lack of third-party verification, and third-party verification becomes available, DHC will conduct an interim reexamination.
6. DHC may conduct an interim reexamination at any time in order to correct an error in a previous reexamination, or to investigate a resident fraud complaint, or to account for income unreported and/or underreported by the family at the annual reexamination.
7. Resident stops receiving public assistance funds, unless a Family’s income decreases because of the failure of any Family member to comply with a condition under an assistance program that requires participation in a self-sufficiency program or a work activities requirement or because of fraud. In those cases, the amount of rent paid by the Family may not be decreased during the period of income reduction. For purposes of this exception, a reduction in benefits as a result of the expiration of a lifetime limit for a Family receiving welfare or public assistance benefits is not
