§ 10-09 Adjustments to CityFHEPS Rental Assistance Payment Amount, Discontinuance of Rental Assistance Payments, or Program Termination Prior to Renewal.
RCNY § 10-09
(a)At the household's request, when the household's income has changed in such a manner that would decrease the household's base client contribution, the Commissioner will recalculate the CityFHEPS rental assistance payment amount in accordance with 68 RCNY § 10-06 or 68 RCNY § 10-07, as applicable.
(b)In the event that the household's PA shelter allowance increases prior to renewal, such that the sum of the CityFHEPS rental assistance payment and the PA shelter allowance exceeds the household's actual or maximum rent, whichever is less, HRA shall reduce the CityFHEPS rental assistance amount so that it equals the difference between the household's PA shelter allowance and the lesser of the actual or maximum rent.
(c)The Commissioner may discontinue CityFHEPS rental assistance payments if: (1) the household leaves the CityFHEPS unit; (2) the landlord fails to comply with requirements set forth in 68 RCNY § 10-14, whereupon the household may be granted approval to move pursuant to 68 RCNY § 10-10; or (3) the household's participation in CityFHEPS is terminated, and payments are not continued pursuant to 68 RCNY § 10-13(e).
(d)A household's participation in the CityFHEPS Program may be terminated prior to renewal where the Commissioner determines that the household has failed or refused without good cause to comply with requirements set forth in 68 RCNY § 10-12.
