30-Day Extension for TRACS 202.d Conversion

The Tenant Rental Assistance Certification System (TRACS) is preparing for the TRACS 202.d release to accommodate new and modified tenant certification processes, which allow TRACS to verify tenant certification transactions and voucher payments consistent with the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act and HUD 4350.3 Rev-1 Change 4.

Housing advocates, including LeadingAge, asked the Office of Multifamily Housing to extend the TRACS 202.c release conversion date because many properties would not be able to make the Sun., Feb. 1 transition to TRACS 202.d release.

TRACS data indicates approximately 60 percent of properties submitting tenant certifications and vouchers to TRACS have made the conversion to TRACS 202.d release.

A 30-day extension to the TRACS 202.d Conversion Date has been posted under the “What’s New” section of the TRACS website. The release is titled TRACS 202d Release Implementation Schedule.

The updated TRACS 202.d Release Implementation Schedule is as follows:

• TRACS 202.d Release Conversion start date: Fri., Aug. 1, 2014
• TRACS 202.c Release Conversion end date: Fri., Feb. 27, 2015
• TRACS 202.c Release transactions will be rejected: Mon., March 2, 2015
