Streamlining HUD Certifications

In May of 2020, HUD published a Final Rule finalizing the regulatory language to implement the FAST Act provisions contained in the December 2017 interim. Specifically, this Final Rule amended regulations as it relates to the following:

• Asset Verification

• Utility Allowance Reimbursements

• Triennial Income Verification

Reducing the Administrative Burden for Owners

Final Rule reduces the burden of verifying household assets when determining a household’s income upon recertification and also reduces the burden of verifying fixed income sources when determining a household’s income upon recertification.
