The use of the EIV system by O/As is mandatory. Effective January 31, 2010, MFH O/As must use HUD’s EIV system in its entirety:

• As a third-party source to verify tenant employment and income information during mandatory recertifications of family composition and income, in accordance with §5.236, and administrative guidance issued by HUD; and
• To reduce administrative and subsidy payment errors in accordance with HUD administrative guidance. (24 CFR §5.233)

The MFH EIV system differs from the PIH EIV system and O/As of RAD converted properties are required to obtain access to the system by following instructions in the above link. Additional guidance on the use of the MFH EIV system can be found in Housing Notice 2010-10.
