**0:05** Hi and welcome to today's Tuesday tip. As I mentioned, the Tuesday before last I was out and we didn't have a tip because I was on property doing MORs. I want to share with you some of the things that I found while I was on property doing MORs, just in case you're getting ready for one.

**0:32** First of all, you have to run the **EIV existing tenant search** on the dependents. I went to three properties while I was out and on all three of the properties, they had the same common finding: you have to run the existing tenant search on **everyone** that's in the household. That's so HUD can make sure they're not paying double subsidy. A lot of managers just want to run it on the head of the household, but the word is on *everyone*.

**1:16** The other thing that I found was that on the **9887 and 9887-A**, that's the form that tells you to print the resident's name, have them sign it, and management has to print their name, position, and sign the form. A lot of you were not signing or were not dating the form. Remember, because we use EIV, the 9887 and the 9887-A have to be signed and dated. 

**2:05** The other thing with the 9887 form was at the top, there are three boxes. One is for the HUD office, the other is for the management company, and the third is for the contract administrator. Those three boxes have to be completed. If you read the 9887, the first line tells the resident not to sign the form if the three blocks are not completed.

**3:17** The third most common finding is that the residents have assets, but sometimes our residents don't know what assets are. On the 50059, the asset portion was left blank. I found that there were residents who were receiving Social Security. If your resident gets a paper check, you need to make a note to the file and have an affidavit. Otherwise, you should have some type of asset listed. It could be the resident's checking or savings account. If they don't have those, and Social Security is sending it on the Direct Express debit card, HUD tells us to treat it like a savings account and get the current balance. HUD doesn't say how much has to be in there; you just have to acknowledge that there is an asset.

**5:19** The fourth thing I found was EIV. You have to run the reports according to your own written EIV policies and procedures. A lot of managers were not running them according to what their written EIV policy says.

**5:53** Well, thanks again for tuning in for today's Tuesday tip, and I'll see you next week.
