Question and Answer- Third Party Verifications and 9887A Forms
Question: During a recent PMCS training, the instructor indicated that when management is sending out third party verification forms that:
1) adult members of the household must sign the individual verification forms authorizing the owner to verify the information with the identified third party; and
2) a signed HUD Form 9887A must accompany this outgoing verification form.
Could you provide the regulatory reference for this requirement?
