Specifically, which document do you use when the Social Security Award Letter indicates a“cents” amount being received and the EIV Income Report does not.  \nHousing Notice 2010-10 states the Income Report identifying the Social Security benefit information in EIV must be used as third party verification of the tenant’s income and will be used to calculate the tenant’s income. Additionally, the O/A must confirm with the tenant that the current benefit amount in EIVis correct. If the tenant agrees that the Social Security benefit information reported in EIV is correct, the O/A must use the gross benefit amount reported in EIV for calculating the tenant’s income by annualizing the gross benefit amount projected forward for the next 12 months. This requirement allows the O/A to use the amount represented in EIV (even if no cents are included) to calculate income. Social Security Award Letters are not required to be viewed or included in the tenant’s file if the EIV Income Report is being used to verify and calculate benefits.  \nThe SSA award letter should be used to calculate income and included in the tenant’s file only if the tenant disputes the amount(s) on the EIV Income Report. Having the SSA Award Letter in the file is not in itself an indication that the tenant disputes the amount(s) on the EIV Income Report. The O/A should make a note on the EIV Income Report that the tenant disputes the amount and then use the Social Security Award Letter to calculate income. The award letter must not be older than 120 days. Please refer to Notice H 2010-10 for instructions when the tenant does not have his/her Social Security Award Letter or when the letter is older than 120 days.","cbCaic9nK66LhGmY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic9nK66LhGmY","pdf",139154,"English","# HUD Clarifies Social Security Income Source Discrepancies\n## Using EIV as Third-Party Verification\n## When to Use the SSA Award Letter\n## Time Limit and Missing/Outdated Letters","[{\"question\":\"When should staff use the EIV Income Report to calculate a tenant’s Social Security income?\",\"answer\":\"Staff should use the EIV Income Report identifying the Social Security benefit information in EIV as third-party verification and for calculating the tenant’s income, including by annualizing the projected gross benefit amount for the next 12 months.\"},{\"question\":\"When is the SSA Award Letter required in the tenant’s file?\",\"answer\":\"The SSA Award Letter should be used to calculate income and included in the tenant’s file only if the tenant disputes the amount(s) shown on the EIV Income Report.
