HUD HCV Guidebook § 5.1.2

When a PHA chooses to establish reexamination cycles based upon the date of program admission, the
family’s annual reexamination will be due the same date every year and is not tied to the anniversary date of
the current HAP contract. Example 2 provides two options for how a PHA might set a tenant’s next annual
reexamination month.

      Example 2: Program Admission and Annual Reexamination Dates
      A family is admitted to the program on February 1, 2019. The family moves to a new unit October 1,
      2020.

               Option 1: PHA will complete an annual reexamination with the October 1, 2020 move and
                ‘reset’ the annual reexamination due date so that the next annual reexamination is due
                October 1, 2021. Under this option, the PHA will have completed two (2) annual
                reexaminations for the same family; the first effective February 1, 2020 and the second at
                the time the family is issued a voucher for the move effective October 1, 2020.

               Option 2: PHA will process the move without completing an annual reexamination. The
                family’s next annual reexamination will remain due February 1, 2021.
