At your Annual Reexamination, you must report all income, received from all sources, for all family members. Additionally, throughout the year, participants are required to report changes to the LACDA within 10 days after the changed has occurred. The participant must submit to the LACDA the Interim Reexamination Request form along with supporting documentation for the change.

A good rule of thumb to follow is if you are not sure, report it. The LACDA has the tools to check and verify that you are reporting your income appropriately. Your assistance may be terminated, and you may be required to repay any rent the LACDA overpaid on your behalf.

What happens when I report a change in income?

When you report a change income, the LACDA determines how much rent you pay.

If you report a decrease in income, the contract is adjusted for the first day of the month following the month in which you provide all required documentation of the decrease.

If you report an increase in income, the contract is adjusted for the first day of the month following a 30-day notice. If a family fails to report a change within the required time frame or fails to provide all required information within the required time frames, the increase will be applied retroactively, to the date it would have been effective had the information been provided in a timely matter.
