Moving to Work, Landlord Incentives Cohort Evaluation

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) at the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contracted with Abt Associates (in partnership with the University of Hawai’i) to conduct an evaluation of the Moving to Work, Landlord Incentives cohort. As required under the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data collection instruments associated with the evaluation. The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is tenant-based housing assistance program and is the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) largest rental assistance program. Rather than limiting households to rental units located in specific housing projects, the HCV program lets households use vouchers to find their own housing in the private rental market. For this reason, the HCV program works well only if private market landlords are willing to make their units available to voucher holders. Many public housing agencies (PHAs) struggle to attract and retain landlords in the program, leading to low rates for voucher holders successfully leasing units and other program inefficiencies. Moving to Work (MTW) is a HUD demonstration program that encourages PHAs to test ways to increase the cost effectiveness of federal housing programs, encourage greater self-sufficiency of households receiving housing assistance, and increase housing choice for low-income families. MTW designation gives PHAs relief from many of the regulations and statutory provisions that apply to HCV and public housing programs. MTW was initially authorized by Congress in 1996, and in 2016, HUD was authorized to expand the Demonstration to an additional 100 PHAs. In January 2021, HUD published a Request for Applications for the Landlord Incentives Cohort of the MTW Expansion. In this cohort, PHAs will implement incentives for landlords to encourage their participation in the HCV program. In January 2022, HUD announced that twenty-nine (29) PHAs were selected to participate in the Landlord Incentives Cohort. PHAs participating in the Landlord Incentives Cohort must adopt at least two incentives from a menu of nine incentive options. Incentive options include payment standards flexibility, one-time financial incentives (such as signing bonuses and damage reimbursements), and simplified inspections processes. The goals of these incentives are: (1) to increase landlord participation in the HCV program and (2) to increase voucher holder success rates in leasing units in the program. The Moving to Work Landlord Incentives Evaluation (“Landlord Incentives Evaluation”), led by Abt Associates, will examine how PHAs implement these incentives and how these incentives affect program outcomes. This request relates to primary data to be collected for the Landlord Incentives Evaluation. This supporting statement is the first in a series of OMB submissions that correspond to an array of data collection activities for the evaluation of the Moving to Work, Landlord Incentives cohort. HUD seeks clearance in this submission for: • Semi-structured interview guides for site visits and telephone interviews with staff from treatment and a subset of comparison PHAs; • Online surveys to treatment and comparison PHAs; and • Semi-structured interview guides for site visits with landlords within treatment and a subset of comparison PHA jurisdictions.

Synopses of State Dental Public Health Programs

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of the State Synopses is for CDC and ASTDD to obtain current information from each state annually on demographic, infrastructure, workforce, and administrative factors that impact the state’s oral health program. In addition, each state is asked to provide detailed information on the services they provide to their constituents. The State Synopsis collects demographic information on the population served, state oral health infrastructure (i.e., population served by community water fluoridation), workforce (i.e., dental hygienists in state), administration, oral health surveillance, and programs funded by state.

Application for Child's Insurance Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Social Security Act (Act) provides for the payment of monthly benefits to children of an insured retired, disabled, or deceased worker. Section 202(d) of the Act discloses the conditions and requirements the applicant must meet when filing an application. An unmarried child who has a parent who is retired or has a disability and is entitled to Social Security benefits, or who has a parent who died after having worked long enough in a job where they paid Social Security taxes, is entitled to receive benefits. An unmarried child can receive benefits if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) the child is younger than 18; (2) the child is a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school (grade 12 or below); (3) the child is age 18 to 19 and attending elementary or secondary school full-time; or (4) the child is age 18 or older with a disability that began before age 22. Under certain circumstances, SSA can also pay benefits to a stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild, or adopted child. Respondents can download and complete Form SSA 4 BK at www.ssa.gov and mail it back to SSA, or they can call SSA to schedule an appointment at the field office, where an SSA employee can interview respondents and enter information into our Modernized Claims Systems (MCS). When applying for benefits for a child, the respondent needs to provide SSA with the following information: (1) the child’s birth certificate or other proof of birth or adoption; and (2) the parent’s and child’s Social Security numbers. Depending on the type of benefit involved, SSA may require other documents for example: if applying for survivors benefits for the child, SSA requires proof of the parent’s death; and if applying for benefits for a child with a disability, SSA requires medical evidence to prove the child’s disability. The SSA representative helping the respondent with their application tells them what other documents they may need, or the respondent can find the information on SSA’s website. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-4-BK to determine entitlement for children of living and deceased workers to monthly Social Security payments. The respondents are guardians completing the form on behalf of the children of living or deceased workers, or the children of living or deceased workers.

Incorporation by Reference of Oral Findings of Fact and Rationale in Wholly Favorable Written Decisions

Key Information

Abstract

If an administrative law judge (ALJ) makes a wholly favorable oral decision, including all the findings and rationale for the decision for a claimant of Title II or Title XVI payments, at an administrative appeals hearing, the ALJ sends a Notice of Decision (Form HA-82), as the records from the oral hearing preclude the need for a written decision. We call this the incorporation-by-reference process. In addition, the regulations for this process state that if the involved parties want a record of the oral decision, they may submit a written request for these records. SSA collects identifying information under the aegis of Sections 20 CFR 404.953 and 416.1453 of the Code of Federal Regulations to determine how to send interested individuals written records of a favorable incorporation-by-reference oral decision made at an administrative review hearing. Since there is no prescribed form to request a written record of the decision, the involved parties send SSA their contact information and reference the hearing for which they would like a record. The respondents are applicants for Disability Insurance Benefits and SSI payments, or their representatives, to whom SSA gave a wholly favorable oral decision under the regulations cited above.
