Asset income is calculated two ways: By computing the actual income earned and via imputed income calculations. Do you know the difference between the two and when to use which method? Are you comfortable imputing asset income using HUD’s passbook rate? How do you calculate the income of assets when their value continuously fluctuates? At what point does an asset become an income source instead? Let’s apply regulatory concepts related to assets to real-life examples to gauge your understanding of these important calculation methodologies.

This advanced class is designed for compliance staff that handle recertifications and TRACS software. The group will explore common scenarios that prompt tenant repayment agreements. The instructor will test participant understanding of how the overpayment occurred and which lease obligation(s) the tenant did not meet, while sharing effective tips to minimize repayments in the future. The group will then practice calculating the balance of overpaid subsidy owed to HUD and determine when these transactions will appear on the voucher. 

Next, using a realistic case study, the instructor will show participants how to correctly report various types of repayment transactions on the new repayment agreement schedule of the monthly voucher and how to proceed when terms of the agreement are not upheld by the tenant. 
**Note: This class has been updated to incorporate new TRACS 2.0.3.A elements affecting repayment agreements.
