EIV Income Validation Tool (IVT)

PHA Training
2018
EIV & IVT

 The primary goal of EIV is to identify and reduce administrative and subsidy
payment errors, fraud, waste and abuse in HUD’s rental assistance programs.

 The EIV Income Validation Tool (IVT) Provides a validation of tenant


reported wages, unemployment compensation and Social Security benefits
reported in IMS-PIC via form HUD-50058.

 The IVT displays Discrepancies in previously reported amounts of tenant


income by comparing the income reported (50058) with the income/benefit
information received from the Department of Health and Human Services’
(HHS) National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) & the Social Security
Administration (SSA) data sharing agreements.

EIV IVT Pilot & Results

 The IVT was developed in response to an OIG audit that found a large volume of false
positives in the EIV Income Discrepancy Report.

 The IVT was pilot tested with 12 PHAs between October 2017 and January 2018 and
will replace the EIV Income Discrepancy Report and be accessed via the EIV menu.

 IVT Pilot Results:


 Reduces false positives in EIV Income Discrepancy Report
 Identifies potential cases of identity theft
 Improves IMS-PIC data quality & reporting accuracy
 Assists PHAs in identifying accurate income code categories
 Refers to form HUD-50058 Income Codes (16)

 Allows focused review of Wage, Unemployment Compensation, Zero Incomes


and Social Security Benefits

Annual Income Computation

 PHA transmits household income via form HUD-50058 in IMS-PIC, i.e.


$6,000 Annual Household Income.

 At Reexamination: Annual Income is computed by adding the Re-


examination Quarter Income (NDNH + Unemployment Compensation +
SSA Income/Benefits), i.e. $2,000 + Prior Quarter Income from NDNH +
Unemployment Compensation + SSA Income/Benefits), i.e. $3,000 =
$5,000 multiplied by 2 = $10,000 Annualized Income.

 Discrepant Income: Annual NDNH + Unemployment Compensation +


SSA I/Benefits – PIC previously reported income (prior 50058) =
unreported or misreported household income and a potential improper
payment/Income Discrepancy ($10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000).

IVT Features

 Enhanced Search: (1) Name, (2) Last 4 of SSN, (3) DOB, (4)
Development Name and (5) Development Code.

 Excludes Income for individuals coded on form HUD-50058:

 Full-Time Students
 Live-in Aides
 Youth Under 18
 Tenants paying flat rents

 Permits PHAs too quickly identify instances of discrepant income that


can be questioned during regular Annual and/or Interim
Reexaminations that may result in underreported or misreported tenant
income. The IVT, although helpful, does not replace the personal
interview or verification process during the reexamination between the
PHA and the family.

Household Member Report

Note: V MLHMZF received more income per NDNH and SSA than the income reported in PIC
form HUD 50058

Annualized Income reported by NDNH and SSA for V MLHMZF = 20624+23794 X 2 = $88,836
Unreported Income = 88,836- 37,981 = $50,855

10
Employment History Report

Number of employers from the Household Member Report equal the count of employers for the
Reexamination quarter and the previous quarter (i.e. 7/1/2014 and 4/1/2014 quarters).
