Section 29-2531. STI PROGRAM – REPORTING CHANGE IN HOUSEHOLD INCOME

 

2531.1It shall be the responsibility of each participating household to report to their STI Program Provider case manager, in writing, any change in the household’s monthly income as soon as the change occurs.

 

2531.2Upon written notification by the household of a change in the household’s annual income, the Provider shall determine if there is a need to recalculate the amount of the household’s housing cost contribution, based on the following: 

 

(a)If the household is reporting a decrease in monthly income of fifty dollars ($50) or more and the annual recalculation is not in progress, an interim recalculation shall be conducted;

 

(b)If the household is reporting an increase in monthly income of one hundred dollars ($100) or more, an interim recertification shall be conducted; however, if the household’s annual recalculation is in progress, or is scheduled to begin within ninety (90) days, no interim recertification shall be conducted, but the time of the scheduled annual recalculation may be advanced.

 

2531.3The effective date of a change in the amount of the rental assistance as a result of an interim recalculation shall be the same as for an annual recalculation as set forth in Subsections 2530.5 and 2530.6. 

 

2531.4A person’s intentional failure to accurately report income or assets, or changes in income or assets required under Sections 2528 through 2531 that results in greater assistance than the household would otherwise be entitled to, may be subject to penalties, including termination pursuant to Section 2523, and/or criminal or civil prosecution under D.C. Official Code § 4-218.01 (2008 Repl.) if such intentional failure to report is substantiated.
