HUD HCV Guidebook § 7.3
Notification of Billing Amount Changes (Form HUD-52665) (HUD HCV Guidebook)
Operative Text
The receiving PHA must94 send a new Form HUD-52665 to report a change in the billing amount along with form HUD-50058. As it relates to changes in the HAP amount, both options 4 and 10 under Part II-B of form HUD-52665 must95 be completed. Receiving PHAs must96 notify the initial PHA of changes in the billing amount no later than 10 business days following the effective date of the change. HUD strongly encourages receiving PHAs to notify the initial PHA of billing changes at the same time that it notifies the owner and the family in order to provide the initial PHA with advance notice of the change. If the receiving PHA fails to send the Form HUD-52665 and Form HUD-50058 within 10 business days following the effective date of the HAP change, the initial PHA is not responsible for paying any increase in the monthly billing amount incurred prior to the notification. If the change resulted in a decrease in the monthly billing amount, the initial PHA will offset future monthly payments until the difference is reconciled. The examples below illustrate this policy.
Under HUD Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook § 7.3, when a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) amount changes for a voucher holder who has moved to a new jurisdiction, the receiving Public Housing Authority (PHA) is required to submit updated forms (HUD-52665 and HUD-50058) to the initial PHA within 10 business days of the change taking effect. If that deadline is missed, the initial PHA bears no financial responsibility for any billing increase that accrued before the notification was sent. When a billing decrease occurs and notification is late, the initial PHA may recover the overpayment by offsetting future monthly payments until the balance is reconciled.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a property owner participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program, the administrative obligations under § 7.3 fall primarily on the receiving PHA rather than directly on you; however, understanding this rule helps owners anticipate potential timing gaps in HAP payments. Compliant receiving PHAs submit Form HUD-52665 alongside Form HUD-50058 promptly after any HAP change, and HUD encourages them to notify owners and families at the same time they notify the initial PHA. Owners who experience unexpected payment discrepancies may wish to contact their receiving PHA to confirm whether the required forms under § 7.3 were submitted within the 10-business-day window.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For families holding a Housing Choice Voucher and living in a receiving PHA's jurisdiction, § 7.3 governs how changes to your Housing Assistance Payment are communicated between housing authorities. The rule requires the receiving PHA to notify the initial PHA of any billing change within 10 business days, and HUD encourages that notification to happen at the same time you and your owner are informed. If you believe a delay in this process has affected your housing assistance, tenant-rights organizations or your local PHA's family services office can help you understand what recourse may be available under § 7.3.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
