EIV Income Verification Update SSA and NDNH Matches
October 15, 2010

It is anticipated that a complete computer match between Multifamily Housing and the Social Security Administration will be completed by Monday, November 15, 2010. This means users may continue to get the message “A current 50059 record was not found for Social Security Number…” until November 15, 2010, because the tenant has not yet been matched with SSA.

It is also anticipated that the quarterly computer match between Multifamily Housing and the Department of Health and Human Services’ National Directory of New Hires will be completed causing all tenant data originating from HHS to be available on Sunday, October 31, 2010. Please be advised only those tenants who have already been matched with SSA will appear in the EIV system.

Owners/management agents are to continue with all scheduled certifications and recertifications. If discrepant data is represented in the EIV system, traditional third party verification is to be used. As a reminder, if traditional third party verification is used, the EIV documents must still be printed and placed in the tenant file. A note indicating why the EIV data was not used must be included on the EIV printout.
