Leanne Grover, EBS for Barron County, was recently contacted by a resident of Section 42 subsidized housing who received notice from the housing authority that a review of electronic wage databases showed that she had received two quarters of wages from an out-of-state employer. Leanne worked with her program attorney to determine steps the client needed to take to appeal the incorrect information and to prepare letters she could provide to the housing authority and the reporting employer. After receiving the letter, the employer identified the problem, corrected the information in the reporting system, and provided a letter confirming that she had never been employed with the company. The housing authority accepted that information as best available evidence and decided not to move forward with any effort to evict or non-renew the client's lease.
