II. Fraud Information Bulletin:
Detecting and Preventing Embezzlement
by Section 8 Fund handlers
Purpose
This Bulletin highlights a recurring
national problem in the embezzlement
of Section 8 funds by HA officials
empowered to issue Section 8 vouchers
(checks) on behalf of low-income
renters.
Background
OIG’s mission is to provide policy
direction for HUD and to conduct,
supervise, and coordinate audits,
investigations, and other activities for
the purpose of promoting economy and
efficiency in the administration of the
programs and operations of HUD and
preventing and detecting fraud and
abuse in such programs. HUD
administers federal aid to local HAs that
own and operate housing for lowincome residents at rents they can
afford. During the course of audits and
investigations of, and relating to, HAs,
OIG has discovered multiple instances
of HA officials abusing Section 8
vouchers for personal gain. Examples of
these schemes follow.
Examples
In Newark, NJ, a former official with
the Housing Authority for the City of
Perth Amboy (HACPA) pled guilty to
four counts of theft from a program
receiving government funds. The official
administered Section 8 funds for
HACPA, including issuing vouchers to
landlords on behalf of Section 8
recipients. While serving in this
capacity, the official forged the
signatures of various landlords on
Section 8 vouchers and endorsed the
checks over to herself. The official then
deposited the funds into her personal
account. Over several years, the official
managed to embezzle $407,603 of
Section 8 funds in this manner, which
she spent on jewelry, clothes, travel,
and other personal expenses.
In Boston, MA, a former official with
the Avon Housing Authority (AHA) was
indicted on multiple bribery counts.
The official, who administered Section
8 funds for the AHA, solicited and
received bribes from Section 8
applicants. In exchange for these bribes,
the official would issue vouchers to the
applicants, some of whom would not
otherwise be eligible to receive them or
would normally wait longer to receive
them. The official exceeded the AHA’s
number of allowed vouchers by over 90,
for a total value of approximately $1.3
million, causing the AHA to pay nearly
$50,000 per month it did not have. As
a result, the AHA was forced to
VerDate jul<14>2003
18:41 Jul 01, 2005
Jkt 205001
terminate more than 90 eligible families
from the Section 8 program.
What Happens
In each case, a particular HA official
possesses primary responsibility for
issuing Section 8 vouchers. Although
other HA personnel may technically be
required to play a role in authorizing
such vouchers, the official in question
acts independently to a large degree.
Exploiting this independence, the
official mishandles the Section 8 funds
in some way, such as by fraudulently
endorsing vouchers and keeping the
funds, or by issuing unauthorized
vouchers in exchange for bribes.
The Problem
Federal funds are at risk, and from an
HA’s standpoint avoiding victimization
can be difficult. First, even tiny HAs
may have numerous landlords who
regularly receive Section 8 vouchers,
and it only takes one employee to open
an HA to fraud. Second, HAs may have
few personnel, often stretched thin or
performing multiple jobs, making it
difficult to detect and prevent fraud by
a fellow HA employee. Third, every
Section 8 dollar wasted or stolen is lost
to those low-income individuals who
require Section 8 assistance, thereby
reducing the number of available
vouchers.
Red Flags
• Discrepancies between income
actually received by a participating
landlord and the amount shown on the
landlord’s 1099.
• Discrepancies between income
actually received by a participating
landlord and the amount indicated in
recertification documents.
• Inability or unwillingness of HA’s
Section 8 fund administrator to produce
copies of vouchers.
HA Responsibility. What Can Be Done?
Internal Controls
The key step in preventing these
problems is for HAs to enhance
procedures for preventing and detecting
fraud and mismanagement (i.e., to
improve internal controls). The most
effective internal control concept is
separation of duties. An ideal system of
internal controls will separate three
functions: (1) Authorizing transactions;
(2) keeping books; and (3) handling
funds.
Certification and Recertification
Authority. Duties should be separated
even further, however. HA officials who
handle funds should not also handle
landlord certifications and
recertifications for Section 8 eligibility,
because the recertification process
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
38705
might reveal fraud, waste, or abuse in
those officials’ handling of Section 8
funds over the past year. For example,
recertification documents could reveal
discrepancies between the amount of
money actually distributed to landlords,
and the amount that official claimed
was distributed. Otherwise, fund
handlers might conceal misdeeds for
long stretches of time. Certification and
recertification authority should be
placed only with HA personnel other
than those who handle Section 8 funds.
Executive Director—More Training,
Closer Supervision. Executive
directors—particularly in small HAs—
cannot leave all Section 8 matters in the
hands of the official charged with
handling the funds. Executive directors
must undergo training on a regular basis
to ensure current knowledge of the
Section 8 program, and must supervise
all HA employees closely to prevent
unauthorized distributions of Section 8
funds. Separation of duties does not
mean that the executive director
abdicates all responsibility for functions
performed by other HA officials.
External Controls
Electronic Payment Systems. HAs
may also consider converting to an
electronic payment system, and
ensuring that the person(s) authorized to
handle funds are not the only HA
officials authorized to access that
system. Electronic payment systems
presumably generate an automatic,
nearly real-time record of all issued
vouchers, thereby ensuring that the HA
official who keeps the books will learn
promptly of any questionable Section 8
expenditures by the HA official
responsible for administering the funds.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Individual Landholder’s and
Farm Operator’s Certification and
Reporting Forms for Acreage Limitation,
43 CFR part 426 and 43 CFR part 428.
Abstract: This information collection
requires certain landholders (direct or
indirect landowners or lessees) and farm
operators to complete forms
demonstrating their compliance with
the acreage limitation provisions of
Federal reclamation law. These forms
are submitted to districts who use the
information to establish each
landholder’s status with respect to
landownership limitations, full-cost
pricing thresholds, lease requirements,
and other provisions of Federal
reclamation law. In addition, forms are
submitted by certain farm operators to
provide information concerning the
services they provide and the nature of
their farm operating arrangements.
All landholders whose entire
westwide landholdings total 40 acres or
less are exempt from the requirement to
submit Reclamation Reform Act of 1982
(RRA) forms. Landholders who are
‘‘qualified recipients’’ have RRA forms
submittal thresholds of 80 acres or 240
acres depending on the district’s RRA
forms submittal threshold category
where the land is held. Only farm
operators who provide multiple services
to more than 960 acres held in trusts or
by legal entities are required to submit
forms. This collection of information
allows the Bureau of Reclamation (we,
our, or us) to establish landholders’
compliance with Federal reclamation
law.
Changes to the RRA forms and the
instructions to those forms: Several
proposed changes were made to the
current RRA forms and the instructions
to those forms prior to the 60-day
comment period initiated by the notice

and 43 CFR part 428.
Abstract: The summary forms in this
information collection are to be used by
district offices to summarize individual
landholder (direct or indirect landowner
or lessee) and farm operator certification
and reporting forms as required by the
Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (RRA),

of the summary forms, the instructions
to the summary forms, and what
information is required to be submitted
to Reclamation. Comments resulting
from the 60-day comment period
consisted of minor language additions,
deletions, and revisions to specific areas
of certain summary forms. Such
additions, deletions, and revisions
reflected in language found in current
RRA directives and/or in other places
within the current summary forms.
Changes based on the comments
received were made when the changes
resulted in increased clarity and
increased correctness of the summary
forms and the corresponding
instructions. All other changes that were
made are editorial or typographical in
nature. The proposed revisions to the
summary forms will be included
starting in the 2006 water year.
Draft of a New Form
As part of Reclamation’s ongoing
acceptance of users’ comments on the
RRA forms, Reclamation received a
request to devise a way to more
efficiently track limited recipients that
hold less than 40 acres (i.e., those that
are below the RRA forms submittal
threshold and thus do not submit
standard RRA forms) and the full-cost
and excess land held by such limited
recipients. In an effort to address this
comment Reclamation proposed a draft
of a new form, ‘‘Tabulation H of Limited
Recipients That Hold Less Than 40
Acres, and Full-Cost Landholders and
Excess Landowners That Are Below the
RRA Forms Submittal Threshold.’’ This
draft form was presented for public
comment during the 60-day comment
period initiated by the Federal Register
notice published on February 1, 2005
(70 FR 5222, Feb. 1, 2005). Nearly all of
the public comments received with
regard to the proposed new form
expressed opposition to the form.
Therefore, the proposed new form will
not be implemented for use in the 2006
or future water years, and the proposed
new form is not included as part of the
forms presented for comment during
this 30-day comment period.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondents: Contracting entities that

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Individual Landholder's and Farm Operator's Certification
and Reporting Forms for Acreage Limitation, 43 CFR part 426 and 43 CFR
part 428.
Abstract: This information collection requires certain landholders
(direct or indirect landowners or lessees) and farm operators to
complete forms demonstrating their compliance with the acreage
limitation provisions of Federal reclamation law. These forms are
submitted to districts who use the information to establish each
landholder's status with respect to landownership limitations, full-
cost pricing thresholds, lease requirements, and other provisions of
Federal reclamation law. In addition, forms are submitted by certain
farm operators to provide information concerning the services they
provide and the nature of their farm operating arrangements.
All landholders whose entire westwide landholdings total 40 acres
or less are exempt from the requirement to submit Reclamation Reform
Act of 1982 (RRA) forms. Landholders who are ``qualified recipients''
have RRA forms submittal thresholds of 80 acres or 240 acres depending
on the district's RRA forms submittal threshold category where the land
is held. Only farm operators who provide multiple services to more than
960 acres held in trusts or by legal entities are required to submit
forms. This collection of information allows the Bureau of Reclamation
(we, our, or us) to establish landholders' compliance with Federal
reclamation law.
Changes to the RRA forms and the instructions to those forms:
Several proposed changes were made to the current RRA forms and the
instructions to those forms prior to the 60-day comment period
initiated by the notice published in the Federal Register on February

information will have practical use;

respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. Reclamation will display a valid
OMB control number on the RRA forms. A Federal Register notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2005
(70 FR 5219, Feb. 1, 2005). A list of the comments received and our
responses to those comments will be sent to: (1) all districts, (2) all
commenters, and (3) OMB with the ICR; it is also available from us upon
request.
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove this information
collection, but may respond after 30 days; therefore, public comment
should be submitted to OMB within 30 days in order to assure maximum
consideration.
Department of the Interior practice is to make comments, including
names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review.
Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address
from public disclosure, which we will honor to the extent allowable by
law. There also may be circumstances in which we would withhold a
respondent's identity from public disclosure, as allowable by law. If
you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your comment. We will make all
submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations
or businesses, available for public disclosure in their entirety.
Dated: June 17, 2005.
Roseann Gonzales,
Director, Office of Program and Policy Services.
