MATERIAL WEAKNESS
Condition

24 CFR ? 982.516(a) states the Public Housing Authority (PHA) must conduct a reexamination of family income and composition at least annually. Section 2 states the PHA must obtain and document in the tenant file third-party verification of the following factors or must document why third-party verification was not available: (i) reported family annual income; (2) the value of assets; (3) expenses related to deductions from annual income; and (4) other factors that affect the determination of adjusted income or income- based rent. 24 CFR ? 908 states the Public Housing Authority (PHA) is required to submit HUD-50058 form electronically to HUD each time the Public Housing Authority (PHA) completes an admission, annual reexamination, interim reexamination, portability move-in, or other change of unit for a family. 24 CFR ? 982.505(b) states the Public Housing Authority (PHA) shall pay a monthly housing assistance payment on behalf of the family that is equal to the lower of: (1) The payment standard for the family minus the total tenant payment; or (2) The gross rent minus the total tenant payment. The Authority did not have third-party verification of account balances of 5 percent of the tenant files tested for the Housing Choice Voucher program. The failure to verify and maintain third-party verification support could lead to questions on the validity of the income reported and future questioned costs, reduced federal funding, and the requirement to repay the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Executive Director and Housing Choice Voucher employees should ensure all tenant files maintain the appropriate documentation to meet the requirements of income verification and housing assistance payments reporting.

Corrective Action Plan

Third party employment verifications were provided to the housing authority by the tenants. Staff were able to verify the provided employment documents. Staff were able to ensure that the tenants met the mandatory income limits. Upon transferring of job descriptions, in the office, between staff documents were misplaced. Going forward, the Executive Director and staff will place a high emphasis on ensuring that all third-party verifications are stamped with the date received and placed in tenant files upon receipt of the documents. All tenant files will be inspected and reviewed by staff monthly to ensure all pertinent documentation is in place.

Special Tests & Provisions
Condition

24 CFR 982.405(a) provides that the Public Housing Authority (PHA) must inspect the unit leased to a family prior to the initial term of the lease, at least biennially during assisted occupancy, and at other times as needed, to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS). The Authority did not perform Housing Quality Inspections within the required time frame for 2.5 percent of the current tenant files tested for the Housing Choice Voucher program. The failure to perform Housing Quality Inspections could lead to future questioned costs, reduced future federal funding, and the requirement to repay the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development The Executive Director and Housing Choice Voucher employees should ensure all tenant files maintain the appropriation documentation and meet the requirements for inspections.

Corrective Action Plan

Jackson MHA completed the required inspection, but we were unable to provide the completed inspection report generated by our software company. After speaking with our software company, they were also unaware why the software did not have the inspection report under the inspections tab. The software does show the inspection was completed under the occupancy tab. JMHA was unable to provide a copy of the inspection report. Going forward, the Executive Director and staff will ensure that all required inspection documentation will be printed and placed in the tenant files immediately following the unit?s inspection. If we are unable to print the inspection documentation, we will immediately contact our software company to address the situation and not wait until the documentation is requested. All tenant files will be inspected and reviewed by staff monthly to ensure that all pertinent documentation is in place.
