Annual Recertification Packet

Fill out your annual recertification packet here before your recertification appointment. When you send it, it goes to our office as one PDF packet, and you get a confirmation number.

• Every adult 18 or older in the household signs at the end of the form by typing their own full name. This signs and dates the re-exam packet pages, the Authorization of Release form (HUD-9886-A) and the Debts Owed notice (HUD-52675).
• For your privacy, enter only the last 4 digits of Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers. If someone new joined the household, bring their Social Security card to your appointment.
• Fill out the Supplement to Application for Federally Assisted Housing (HUD-92006) separately; it is its own online form.

Please read the instructions thoroughly

Medical expenses

Only applies to elderly or disabled households. Includes any out-of-pocket medical expenses paid in the last 12 months; anything turned in that is not within the year will not be used. Bring any medical expenses that you have. We will look at them and let you know if we are able to use them.

Documentation needed:

• A pharmacy printout for the last 12 months.
• Receipts for bills paid out of pocket; this can include doctors' visits, hospital bills, and so on.

• Financial aid received (includes scholarships).
• A statement from the registrar's office showing what was paid for in tuition.
• If you pay for books, a receipt showing the amount that was paid.

The tenant must report all changes in income or family composition within ten (10) calendar days of such change.

You will have an appointment to turn in your packet. At that appointment we will go over the packet with you and compare it to what was reported last year. At the appointment you will need to have all your documents in order. You are being notified in advance, and you will have enough time to get your documents in order. If you have any questions, call the office at 903-893-3139; we will be more than happy to help you.
