EIV Training
NOTE: This training
pertains to EIV requirements for HUD MFH
properties and
NOT to EIV requirements for Housing Authorities.
EIV- Enterprise Income Verification System became
mandatory on January 31, 2010.
The newest EIV notice H-2010-10
just came out! How compliant are
you? Do you have your EIV Policies and Procedures in place?
Have you developed and reviewed all your required security measures? Are you
consistently pulling EIV reports and dealing with discrepancies as required?
Do
you have the new EIV "Master" file, checklists, logs, forms and notices?
How comfortable are you using EIV? This class has been designed
for the property management professional who is using EIV on a day-to-day basis.
EIV is used to verify income and identify discrepancies. In this class we
will discuss security and retention requirements; explain computer matching
agreements with HHS/SSA; penalties; setting up your files for MOR review; using
EIV to screen applicants for prior HUD assistance; how to review an EIV report;
uses of an EIV report; investigating discrepancies; notifications to applicants
and tenants; and repayment agreements (among other things). Training
includes sample forms, checklists, logs and notices that can be used to help you
develop your own custom documents.
The trainer is
Sheila King,
of Sheila King Consulting (Tacoma). Sheila has managed for HUD and USDA
properties for over 20 years. Her consulting company has been actively
consulting for the affordable housing industry for over 10 years. Sheila
spearheaded the AptFinder.org web site which is sponsored by AHMA, as well as
the HUD Model Documents that are available to members of AHMA only.
Note that, per HUD EIV Notice H 2010-10,
EIV users are required to have security training annually. While this
training is one step in that process, we further recommend that attendees watch
the HUD produced webcasts in addition to attending this informative training as
an essential part of documenting this training requirement.
8:30 am to 4:30 pm – Friday, August 20, 2010
HUD Model Tenant File Training: Reduce MOR Findings!
Management and Occupancy Reviews (MORs) are
containing an increasing number of findings from the Tenant File reviews.
Through the collaborative efforts of HUD, CMS, AHMA members and
professionals, a HUD Model Tenant File has been created.
This thorough presentation will cover what is included in an MOR Tenant
File Review, the most common errors and findings, techniques, policies, and
procedures to avoid such findings, as well a review of some of the sample
documents provided in the file. Each
participant will receive a “mock” Model Tenant File that will include a
CMS-recommended format for organizing the file, a system for maintaining it and
model sample documents that meet HUD regulations and have been reviewed by CMS.
The sample Model Tenant File can be used as a reference in setting up
your property’s system. By following
its format, as well as the tips provided during the presentation, your property
will be on its way to a findings-free MOR.
