EIV System Updates for Spring 2013

The online EIV systems are scheduled for updates every October and April.  The Spring 2013 version update (to 9.5) wasn’t released until Monday, May 6, 2013.  The changes were announced on May 7th in RHIIP ListServ #300.

The changes were minor and no updates to your EIV Policies and Procedures are required.

Changes are:

1.  New Hires Report:  In October, this Report was added to the main menu bar.  This is a reminder to use the report from that location, since it will include All Tenants, as HUD requires.  This week’s update increases data security by displaying data only when you click on the tenant’s masked SSN.  And, there is a break between the data for each person.
2. Income Report:  When the Head of Household’s identifiers can’t be verified by Social Security, the Head shows up on the Failed Verification Report.  In the past, no information for other household members was shown in this case.  Now, income information for members of the household who are verified will be shown, even if the Head’s data isn’t available.  Information for verified household members will also display when the Head is an ineligible Non-Citizen, and appears on the Failed EIV  Pre-screening Report.
3. Other Changes apply only to internal HUD Users.
