Complying with EIV Disclosure Rules

In this month’s feature, we discussed how to avoid severe penalties for failing to follow correct procedures when disclosing a person’s Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) data. Due to the sensitive nature of the information found in the EIV system, HUD places great emphasis on the security of EIV data and the need to keep a resident or applicant’s information confidential. The Federal Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of an individual’s information to another person without the written consent of that individual.
