Expiring Forms – What To Do

You may have noticed that some important forms expire at the end of March, 2014. They include the model leases, 50059s, Race/Ethnicity Form, EIV CAAFs and UAAFs, and some sample forms. Voucher forms have been expired for some time now.

HUD Policy says that you should continue to use these forms until new ones are issued. HUD has submitted updated forms to the OMB (Office of Management and Budget) for approval, and they are still in the process of reviewing them. In cases like this the expired forms are acceptable since the hold-up is with the OMB.

Generally though, using expired forms can result in a MOR finding. Be sure to watch our monthly newsletter, Practical Points, as well as HUD’s RHIIP ListServ, for information about new versions of forms when they’re released. Then, download them promptly and begin using them immediately.
