Operative Text

HUD HCV Guidebook § 2.1.3
PHAs may rely on either public information related to a specific COLA or they must obtain third-party
documentation of the applicable COLA. For example, for Social Security income, a PHA may rely on the publicly
available COLA, rather than relying on third-party documentation. PHAs must properly document any fixed
source of income, and the applicable COLA or interest adjustment for each specific fixed source of income
