EIV Analysis Reports In reviewing Deceased Tenant reports – Only Deceased Tenants that have been on the Report for longer than 3 months will be considered a discrepancy in this analysis, but doesn’t mean PHAs shouldn’t follow up on all deceased tenants in report. The Income Discrepancy Report will not be used as an indictor in this analysis until a more accurate report can be created: – The time difference between recertification and the NDNH data causes a high percentage of false positives. – Identity theft causes a smaller percentage but some large dollar amount false positives.

EIV Staff Actions EIV staff will perform an analysis of a PHA before sending an using the EIV and PIC system to determine: – Present status of EIV discrepancies – Possible reasons for the discrepancies – Possible solutions EIV staff will send an to the PHA addresses listed in PIC. The PIH Network Director and Field Office will be cc’d. The will be customized to that PHA’s specific discrepancies. EIV staff will assist the PHA in eliminating the discrepancies. The EIV staff will log each contact with the PHA and results of that contact.

Common Problems No EIV Access or Use – Small PHA whose actions are performed by a user ID not tied to the PHA. (consortium or consolidation) – New user needs to be assigned – EIV system error. (we need the user ID that is using EIV system) Overdue Recertifications – Tenants that have moved out but no EOP was submitted. – Late Reexams – PHA staffing issue SSA Identity Failure – data entry error of SSN, DOB or Surname – Maiden name – married name mismatch Deceased Tenants – EOP needs to be submitted – PHA undergoing litigation with remaining non-qualified resident.
