Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing is establishing a new Privacy Act system of records called the Enterprise Voucher Management System (eVMS), which automates monthly Housing Assistance Payment calculations for the Housing Choice Voucher Program using family-level data from IMS/PIC. The system displays Head of Household names and unmasked Social Security Numbers to authorized HUD and PHA users to support payment tracking, reconciliation, and fraud/waste/abuse prevention. PHA staff should be aware that PHAs must apply for user IDs to access eVMS, and the public may submit comments on this notice before it takes effect for routine uses.
