If a family member claims he or she is seeking employment, what types of verification should a PHA require to determine if a family qualifies for the childcare deduction?
It may be a challenge to verify that a family member is actively seeking work, if he/she is not doing so as required under certain programs such as Welfare to Work, continued collection of unemployment compensation, or other state programs. Typically, adequate verification of a family member actively seeking work may consist of written or oral third-party verification from a local or state government agency that governs work-related activities. In the event that third-party verification is not available, acceptable documentation may include a tenant-provided record of companies contacted, their business addresses, phone numbers, and dates on which employment was sought. And, as always, document in the family file why third-party verification was not available.
