The draft TRACS Release 203A MAT Guide update has been posted to:  https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/mfh/trx/trxsum  

Stakeholder comments on the draft TRACS Release 203A MAT Guide allow you to provide input into developing instructions and TRACS processing of tenant certifications and vouchers proposed by HUD. Generally, comments are written in support or dissent of proposed instructions or processing of tenant certifications and vouchers under TRACS Release 203A.

The TRACS Industry Working Group will review and respond to issues raised by stakeholders during the comment period before issuing a final TRACS Release 203A MAT Guide ruling. However, the comment process is not a vote. One well-written comment can outweigh many poorly written or form-letter comments. Therefore, a single comment that provides constructive suggestions backed by evidence will likely influence the final instructions and may even elicit a request for additional information.
