This notice updates PHA compliance deadlines for HOTMA Sections 102 and 104 income and asset provisions, moving the deadline for certain provisions (income exclusions, definitions, de minimis errors) to July 1, 2025, due to IT system development delays. It also confirms earlier deadlines for ceasing Earned Income Disregard enrollment and transitioning to Form HUD-9886-A. HUD will not enforce compliance with other unlisted provisions until further guidance is issued.
