New EIV Updates Released

When you go into EIV in November to print your routine monthly reports, you’ll notice a few changes!

The New Hires Report now appears on the left menu bar, under Verification Reports. When you print it from there, it will automatically include All Tenants, as HUD requires. To print the detail report for a household, you must click on the Details Report tab, and print them for all tenants all at once. We’ve let HUD Policy know that this is problematic, since it requires cutting and pasting when the reports don’t paginate properly. This report still appears on the Income Search Screen and can be printed for tenants whose ARs are due in the selected month, if you choose to do so.

NOTE: HUD requires that this report be printed for All Tenants at least quarterly (on a timeframe noted in your EIV Policies and Procedures). The Summary goes in your Master File (with notes); the Detail goes in the tenant file along with any verifications/documentation.

New Report: “No Income Reported on 50059” shows people who reported zero income on their most recent certification. The Detail Report has a title error in the second section – it says “No Income Reported by HHS or SSA” – but the data is correct. We reported this error to HUD Policy. This report may be helpful to you in implementing your property’s Zero Income Policy, if you have one. At this time, there is no HUD requirement to use it.

New Report: “No Income Reported by HHS or SSA” shows households who have no EIV-reportable income (no SS, wages or unemployment). This has the same data as the old “No Income Report”; it’s just been re-named. At this time, there is no HUD requirement to use it.

Deceased Tenant Report now has two additional columns. One shows household members deceased less than 90 days ago; the other shows those deceased between 91 days and one year ago. This replaces one column in the previous Report that simply showed members deceased less than one year.

NOTE: HUD requires that this report be printed for All Tenants at least quarterly (on a timeframe noted in your EIV Policies and Procedures). The Report goes in your Master File (with notes); any verifications/documentation goes in the tenant file.

Identity Verification Reports: “As of” date now appears in the title in the top box.

Multiple Subsidy Reports: When there are none, the wording is, “No Deficiencies Exist”, instead of “There are no records for the selection criteria”.

There is no HUD guidance yet on the use of any of the new or changed reports. So, unless you choose to print and use either of the two new reports, there’s no reason to revise your EIV Policies & Procedures. If you do want to use one or both of them, be sure to include how and how often, in your EIV Policies & Procedures. And if you currently use the No Income Report (which HUD does not require), be sure to revise your EIV Policies & Procedures to change its name to show which report you’re using.
