Subject: A new form HUD 9887, Authorization for the Release of

Information.

2\. Purpose:

a\. The Form HUD-9886, which formerly covered programs

administered by both the Office of Public and Indian

Housing and the Office of Housing, now covers only the

programs administered by the Office of Public and

Indian Housing.

b\. This new Form HUD-9887 applies to the programs

administered by the Office of Housing and supersedes

Notice H 91-28 (HUD). That notice provided

instructions for use of the Form HUD-9886 for the

programs administered by the Office of Housing only.

c\. Like the Form HUD-9886, the Form HUD-9887 implements

Section 904(b)(2) of the Stewart McKinney Homeless

Assistance Amendments of 1988 and incorporates the

requirements of the Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988, as amended.

Section 904(b)(2) provides for a consent form to be

signed by program applicants and participants

authorizing HUD and PHAs to request a state agency

charged with the administration of the state

unemployment law to release information on wages or

unemployment compensation.

d\. While the form HUD 9886 implemented Section 904(b)(1)

as well as Section 904(b)(2), the form HUD 9887

implements only Section 904(b)(2) at this time. (See

paragraph 5, Anticipated Changes.)

3\. Requirements.

a\. The Form HUD-9887 must be signed by each adult member

of the household at the initial certification.

Additional signatures must be obtained from new adult

members whenever they join the household or whenever

members of the household become 18 years of age.

Additional signature lines may be added as necessary.

b\. Failure of an adult member to sign the authorization

constitutes grounds for denying housing assistance or

may result in removal of subsidy and/or termination of

tenancy under applicable program requirements.

c\. Before completion of any eviction proceedings for those

persons who have refused to sign the Form HUD-9886

dated 4/91, they must be given an opportunity to sign

the revised form.

4\. Programs Covered: Applicants and tenants living in

projects assisted under the following programs must sign the

HUD Form-9887:

Rental Assistance Program (RAP)

Rent Supplement

Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments programs covered by

Handbook 4350.3:

o Loan Management Set-Aside

o New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation

o Property Disposition Set-Aside (Projects HUD

o 515/8 Farmers Home Administration

Section 202

Section 221(d)(3) Below Market Interest Rate

Section 236

Section 811

HOPE 2 Homeownership of Multifamily Units

5\. Anticipated Changes

a\. This office plans to create a Form HUD 9887a to cover:

1\) Section 904(b)(1) of the Stewart McKinney Homeless

Assistance Amendments of 1988. This statute

authorizes HUD and PHAs to verify salary and wage

information pertinent to applicants\' and

participants\' eligibility or levels of benefits

and

2\) Other information obtained by HUD, the owner or

the PHA under 24 CFR Section 813.109(b) for

purposes of determining a family\'s eligibility to

receive housing assistance; for determining the

family\'s adjusted income or tenant rent; or for

2

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

verifying related income. (See also 24 CFR

760.3.)

b\. Until this proposed change is made, Section 3 of

Handbook 4350.3, Verification Requirements and

Procedures, provides the guidance on verifying salary

and wage information (as provided by Section 904(b)(1))

and expenses, assets, household characteristics and

circumstances that affect eligibility or tenant rent

(as provided by 24 CFR 760.3 and 813.109(b)).

Appendices 7 through 17 of Handbook 4350.3 provide

sample model forms of verification.

6\. Implementation: Program participants must use Form HUD-9887

upon receipt of this notice. Form HUD-9886 dated 4/91 may

no longer be used for the programs administered by the

Office of Housing. For a listing of these programs see

paragraph 3 of this transmittal. Notice H-91-28 dated

4/5/91, which is superseded by this action, provides some

useful background information which is not repeated here

(e.g., computer matching; the regulation at 24 CFR 760 on

verifying wages with State Wage Information Collection

Agencies.) The Office of Public and Indian Housing is

making similar changes to the Form HUD-9886 to replace the

4/91 version of the form.

7\. Questions: For 90 days from the date of this transmittal,

direct questions to Bonnie C. Harris at (202) 458-4162.

Thereafter, direct questions to the appropriate desk officer

in the Operations Division. The main number for that

Division is (202) 458-0547.

8\. Instructions:

Discard: Use:

Form HUD 9886 dated 4/91\* Form HUD 9887 dated

\*The Office of Public and Indian Housing is revising the

Form HUD-9886 to cover only those programs administered by

that Office simultaneous with this action by the Office of

Housing.
