| Owners/Agents, HUD requires all Section 8 property owners to maintain an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Keeping your UEI current ensures uninterrupted compliance and will prevent delays or complications when there are changes to your contract, such as a transfer, assignment, or early renewal. An active UEI is also required to maintain access to HUD systems and to receive timely Housing Assistance Payments (HAP). As instructed by HUD, if your UEI becomes inactive, NHC will place your voucher payments on hold until we receive confirmation of an active UEI. As your PBCA, we will send a reminder email 15 days before your UEI expiration date. However, it is the Owner/Agent’s responsibility to renew the UEI through HUD’s SAM.gov website. To renew, simply log into your SAM.gov account and complete the renewal process. Once your UEI has been renewed, please email your UEI number and updated expiration date to NHC at OwnerAgentInformation@nhcinc.org or have your NHC Portal Administrator update the UEI number and expiration date in your account. This ensures there will be no interruption in service or payments. If you have questions or would like more information about HUD’s UEI requirements, please refer to HUD Notice H 2012-06 and the reinforcing language in Notice H 2023-01, Section V. NHC is here to support our Owners/Agents and help make this process as smooth and straightforward as possible. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to OwnerAgentInformation@nhcinc.org. |
