Notes to Reader:


  1. This document has been designed to portray the automated questionnaire used to interview the tenant during the household interview. It is not designed to be used as a paper data collection instrument. All household interviews for the HUDQC studies are conducted using laptop computers.

  2. Explanation of fonts used:

    1. ALL CAPS NON-BOLD font are used for instructions to the Field Interviewrs.

    2. Small Caps and Bold font are used for section titles.

    3. Sentence case non-bold fonts are used for actual question texts that the Field Interviewers read verbatim.

    4. Sentence case, bold and slightly smaller font are prepolulated data or selections that appear on the screen.

    5. ALL CAPS BOLD font are used to denote logics and skip patterns built into the software.

    6. (ALL CAPS, BLUE, & IN PARENTHESIS) fonts are used to indicate the field name in the software.

  3. Items in tables are the selection options provided for the respective questions.

  4. Verification for all items will be requested during the Household Interview. Depending on the item, they may be requested after questions about individual items have been asked, or after specific sections have been completed. Whenever the verification questions are asked in the software, it will be denoted by: VERIFICATION SCREEN in this transcript.

In each VERIFICATION SCREEN, the Field Interviewer will be prompted to say: “Please provide a document that shows the name, address and phone number of the organization (or person) that we can contact if we need to verify the information you just told me about.”

If the tenant provides appropriate documents to verify the information, the name, address, and phone number of the individual or institution will be abstracted from the document provided, and the document will be scanned. The only exception to this rule have to do with verification of Social Security Number, Date of Birth, and Citizenship Status. These items will only be verified during the household interview if there are no verification documents found in the tenant file during data abstraction. If they do need to be verified during the household interview, the Field Interviewer will review the document, enter the information from the document into the software, and indicate the type of document that was provided. The Field Interviewers will not scan verification documents for these three items. The logic behind the verification screen and a template of the VERIFICATION SCREEN is available in Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 at the end of this document).

If the tenant has no document to verify the information, the Field Interviewer will be prompted to ask:Please tell me the name, address and phone number of the person who can verify this information."

  1. The Quality Control Month (QCM) is the month and year for which data are collected. The QCM is used in conducting the household interview—all information requested from the tenant is as of the QCM. The QCM is based on the rent calculation date, the effective date and type of action.

Exhibit 1.

VERIFICATION SCREEN LOGIC


The VERIFICATION SCREEN will have the following process built into it:


For each item that is provided by the respondent, in response to the questions asked, the field interviewer will be required to enter the third party name, address, and phone number.


The FI will ask the tenant to provide document(s) that can be used to verify the information. The document(s) will be requested for one of two period ranges:


  • If the project has elected to use the actual past income provision based on HUD PIH Notice 2013-03b, verification documents for assets, income and expenses will be asked 17 months prior to the QCM plus the QCM; a total of 18 months.

  • If the project has elected to not use the actual past income provision based on HUD PIH Notice 2013-03, verification documents for assets, income and expenses will be asked 1 month prior to the QCM plus the QCM; a total of 2 months.


For each document provided, the system will validate whether the document for the item is for the correct time period, is for the correct household member, contains contact information, and contains a value amount. If all of the above criteria are met, HDCS will instruct the field interviewer to scan this document when the interview is complete. This process will be incorporated into the VERIFICATION SCREEN as shown in Exhibit 2.

a The household questionnaire is designed so the respondent is asked about employment the household had during the QCM, and then the same questions are repeated for income the household expected to have in the future. The question text for the “future” questions have been highlighted in grey.

b PIH Notice 2013-03 indicates:

  • PHAs that choose to use actual past income must use the most recent 12 months of income information available in EIV. Because this EIV report will give actual earnings data verified by a third party, the program participant is no longer required to provide third party documentation (e.g., paystubs, payroll summary report, unemployment monetary benefit notice).

  • PHAs must continue to verify income from sources not available in EIV. However, PHAs must use the same time period for both wage and non-wage income. For example, if a PHA uses EIV information from July 2011 to June 2012 for the purpose of verifying income from wages, the PHA must use the same time period for any nonwage income.
