Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
HUD is re-establishing a computer matching agreement with HHS to compare information on HUD rental assistance participants against the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) to verify income and prevent improper payments. Matched results will be uploaded into the EIV system and made available to PHAs, owners/agents, contract administrators, and independent public auditors to verify tenant-reported income. Public comments on the notice are due by September 3, 2026, and the matching program is expected to run for 18 months starting September 9, 2026, with possible 12-month extension.
