Must a PHA reduce a family s rent if the family member has complied with the welfare agency s economic self sufficiency requirement and is still unable to obtain employment?
A4. Yes, when a family member is not able to find a job in spite of full compliance with all welfare department requirements, then the PHA must reduce the family s rent. Q5. Must a PHA reduce the rent if they receive written verification from the welfare agency that a family member has been sanctioned for noncompliance with some other welfare requirement, for example, missing three appointments? A5: Yes . There are only two situations when a PHA must not reduce the family s rent: (1) when a family s welfare benefits are reduced because the welfare agency verifies in writing that a family member has committed welfare fraud; or (2) when the family s welfare benefits are reduced because the welfare agency verifies in writing that the sanction is for noncompliance with a requirement to participate in an economic self sufficiency program.
