During our Special Test, we noted that for a sample of twenty (25) participants, a payment was made in excess of the approved amount in one (1) instance. The following is a summary: Document Number Amount paid by Program Amount to be paid by Program per contract* Excess 49000053411 $581 $(519) $62 *- Total rent payment per contract is $626 less contribution by participant for $107. Criteria or specific requirement: United States Code of Federal Regulations Title 24. Housing and Urban Development ? 982.451 ? Housing and assistance payment contract (b) (3) establishes the following: The total of rent paid by the tenant plus the PHA housing assistance payment to the owner may not be more than the rent to owner. The owner must immediately return any excess payment to the PHA. Cause: The applicable official did not verify that amount paid was in excess of lease agreement. Effect: The costs incurred by the Municipality may be disallowed and subject to reimbursement to the Program, since amount paid and charged to it was in excess of the amount agreed on. Also, special conditions may be imposed to the Municipality for the administration of Program funds. Recommendations: We recommend the Municipality to evaluate the contracts that are effective and determine if such condition is noted. If so, a formal communication should be made to the Program officials for further instructions. Also, we recommend the Municipality?s Program Director to review the accuracy of all payments to be made before the release of funds.
