Finding Text

2023-1 Excess Residual Receipts Condition: The Project did not prepare a HUD 9250 to remit excess residual receipts, nor did it mail a check or transmit a wire of those funds. Criteria: According to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, owners subject to a Section 202 or 811 Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) are required to remit any excess balance in a Residual Receipts account, greater than $250 per unit, to HUD’s Accounting Center upon termination or renewal of the PRAC contract. Cause: The cause is undeterminable. Effect: Residual receipts balance is $17,507 as of December 31, 2023. The allowable balance is $5,250 ($250 X 21 units), resulting in excess residual receipts of $12,257. Recommendation: I recommend the Property prepare the HUD 9250 requesting to remit excess funds to HUD.

Corrective Action Plan

Residual Receipts in the amount of $12,257 was not incurred in the fiscal year of 2023. This surplus cash was incurred in prior years. Excess residual receipts have not been remitted for two reasons 1) funds are needed for improvements which we are pursuing to 3 bids for as required and 2) HUD has not notified management of the method to remit.
