HUD HCV Guidebook § 9.1

Since disclosure and documentation of SSNs is a condition of eligibility for the voucher program, an applicant
family cannot be admitted to the program until the requirement is met. While the PHA can extend time
allowed to meet this obligation at the intake stage, failure to disclose and document SSNs as required
ultimately results in denial of the family’s application. Applicant families that are otherwise eligible for the
program but are awaiting SSN documentation may retain their place on the waiting list but may not be
admitted until documentation of a valid SSN is submitted to the PHA. For participant families, a PHA may
provide the family an additional 90 days to disclose a SSN, consistent with 24 CFR 5.218(c)(2).
