In previous courses, you learned about certifications that must be performed to determine initial eligibility, as well as annual recertifications to show that each program-qualified household continues to be eligible. Adjusted certifications also are performed when a new member joins a qualified household. The process of completing required certifications is very important, and to avoid noncompliance, care must be taken to perform them correctly.

One unique tax credit program compliance rule is the available unit rule (AUR). This rule is invoked if a previously qualified household has an income increase above a predetermined threshold. If this happens, there are rules in place that, if followed, will keep the unit in compliance. As with all program rules, you must understand the available unit rule and how to apply it in a variety of situations.

Two additional unique compliance rules are the unit transfer and the unit vacancy rules. While the tax credit program allows for unit transfers, specific guidelines must be followed. Most important is knowing when a transfer is considered a swap, and when you need to re-qualify the household to maintain your property’s applicable fraction. You will also learn important definitions related to the unit vacancy rule and how to document reasonable attempts and unit availability.
