265—24.6(16) Termination of rent subsidy payments.

1. 24.6(1)  Reasons for termination. The authority may terminate the rent subsidy at the end of a month in which any of the following occur:

   1. a. The recipient does not meet one or more of the eligibility criteria listed in rule 265—24.2(16).
   2. b. The recipient fails to submit documentation required pursuant to subrule 24.5(2) by the deadline established by the authority.
   3. c. Rent subsidy program funds are exhausted for the fiscal year.
   4. d. The recipient, case manager, legal guardian or representative payee threatens physical violence or injury toward authority staff.
   5. e. The recipient provides false information.
   6. f. The recipient, legal guardian or representative payee misuses rent subsidy payments for purposes other than rent assistance.
   7. g. The recipient is not in compliance with any other programs offered or administered by the authority while receiving rent subsidy payments.
2. 24.6(2)  Notification to recipient. If the authority terminates a recipient’s rent subsidy, the authority will notify the recipient in writing.
3. 24.6(3)  Reporting of changes. The recipient or the recipient’s legal guardian or representative payee, as applicable, is required to report to the authority any changes that may affect eligibility within ten business days of the occurrence of the change, including changes in circumstance listed under subrule 24.5(1). Failure to do so may result in the recipient’s responsibility to repay rent subsidy funds dating back to the recipient’s failure to report the change and termination of the rent subsidy.
