Access to HUD’s Secure Systems For Annual Financial Statement Electronic Filings

By March 31, 2016, several HUD property Owners, or their representative auditors, must submit annual financial statements, online, via HUD’s Secure Systems.  To help facilitate submissions during this busy filing season, HUD recommends filers verify that they have active WASS User IDs and Passwords.

WASS IDs become inactive if not used to log in at least every 90 days. If your WASS ID has been deactivated due to non-use, you must contact the REAC Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to reactivate your ID. When requesting reactivation, users will be asked to verify their WASS ID, their mother’s maiden name, and the last 4 digits of their social security number.

Users must also change their passwords every 90 days. If you forgot your password, it can be reset one of two ways:

• Using the Password Reset Link: http://www.hud.gov/offices/reac/online/reasyst.cfm;
• By contacting the TAC by phone (1-888-245-4860) or email (REAC_TAC@hud.gov.)

TAC staff is anticipating heavy call volumes during the month of March 2016 due to the number of properties scheduled to file annual financial statements. They recommend users attempt to contact them during non-peak hours (7:00 AM to 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM EST) to minimize wait times.
