How can I find a head of household?

There is an HA Query Report in the Ad Hoc module that will search all 50058 and MTW heads of household for a match and will display the HA Code, Action Type and Effective Date for the HOH.

How can I find a member of a household?

There is no way to search directly for a household member. If a member of one of your households is also in the system somewhere else, the Possible Dupe Tenant Report in Tenant ID Management will display both instances of the individual. Alternatively, you can request help from the REAC_TAC to find the individual and the request will be passed to a contractor to generate the data for you.

How can I find someone at another PHA?

If the individual is a Head of Household (HOH), you can use the HA Query Report that will search all 50058 and MTW heads of household for a match and will display the HA Code, Action Type and Effective Date for the HOH. The HA Query Report is located in the Ad Hoc Reports module.

How can I show all my forms for a time period?

What is an online EOP?

“EOP” refers to End of Participation, when a tenant moves out. Normally, an EOP is created in the agency software and uploaded to IMS-PIC. If this was not or cannot be done for some reason, IMS-PIC offers an option in the Viewer Search results to authorized users to generate an MTW EOP from within IMS-PIC.

Can I do an online EOP in MTW Viewer?

Yes. If you have the proper access, when searching in the Viewer, the Search Results screen will display a column on the right for all active tenants called “Online EOP”. Click the link there and a window pops open displaying the tenant, last action and effective date for the tenant, and permits you to change the effective date to the online EOP date. Click Save to implement the EOP or click Close to back out without taking action.

Can I view a complete form in MTW Viewer?

Why can’t I see the whole SSN and name?

Most users will only see the First Initial, Last Name, month and year of birth, and last four digits of the SSN. This is a Privacy Act protection. Certain users at each agency, who have a valid business need to see the full SSNs and names, may be assigned “Special System Privileges” in Security Administration. This removes all data blocking of names, birth dates, and SSNs in all screens for these individual users. The default value is No Special System Privileges for all users.
