REFERENCE NUMBER: 2022-001 FEDERAL PROGRAM: Housing Choice Voucher Program #14.871 NAME OF FEDERAL AGENCY: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT: Reporting Criteria The PHA is required to submit the form HUD-50058, Family Report (OMB No. 2577-0083) electronically to HUD each time the PHA completes an admission, annual reexamination, interim reexamination, portability move-in, or other change of unit for a family. The PHA must also submit the Family Report when a family ends participation in the program or moves out of the PHA?s jurisdiction under portability (24 CFR Part 908 and 24 CFR section 982.158). As per PHI notice 2011-65 reports must be submitted no later than 60 calendar days from the effective date of any action recorded on line 2b of the form HUD-50058 or form HUD-50058 MTW. Condition For 2 instances out of a sample of 40 Forms HUD-50058 tested, while we noted that the Forms HUD - 50058 were completed by the PHA during FY 2022, it appears such forms were not submitted electronically to HUD. For an additional 34 instances out of a sample of 40 Forms HUD-50058 tested, we noted that the related electronic submissions were completed 60 days or more after the HUD 50058 effective date, so it does not appear they were made timely. Questioned Costs None Effect For the 36 samples noted, the PHA does not appear to be submitting the Forms HUD - 50058 electronically to HUD based on HUD requirements. Recommendations We recommend that the PHA improve its policies and procedures, to include reviews by PHA staff, to ensure that the Form HUD- 50058 electronic submissions are completed and made on a timely basis in accordance with Section 8 program reporting compliance requirements. View of Responsible Official PHA agrees with finding.
