All adult applicant Family members shall sign HUD Form-9886, Authorization for Release of Information. The purpose of HUD Form-9886 is to facilitate automated data collection and computer matching from specific sources and provides the Family's consent only for the specific purposes listed on the form.
DCHA shall require that all adult applicant Family members sign the General Authorization form. The purpose of the form is to facilitate DCHA with automated data collection and computer matching from specific sources not covered by HUD Form-9886 and provides the Family's consent for the specific purposes listed on the form.
DCHA shall make two (2) attempts to have specific verifications forms signed by the appropriate Family member as evidence of their understanding of the type/nature of information being sought. Failure to return the forms, absent a proper basis for doing so, shall constitute a failure to recertify.
If the Head of Household fails to sign a consent form, DCHA shall deny admission to the applicant Family and terminate assistance to the household. The Family may request an informal review or informal hearing in accordance with chapter 89 of this title of the DCMR.
If a Family member other than the Head of Household is required to sign a consent form and fails to do so, then DCHA shall inform the Head of Household of their right to remove that person from the household composition. If the Head of Household does not take steps to remove the noncompliant person from the Family composition, DCHA may terminate the assistance of the Family.
