What we do...

CMS ensures that Housing Assistance Payments are made to owners for those units in compliance with the HAP contract.  CMS ensures that monthly HAP payments are made to properties once in receipt of complete and certified voucher information.

How we work with Owners and Owner Agents...

CMS verifies the accuracy of the Section 8 voucher and must pre-approve special claims before payment is made.  The owner is notified of any corrections made as a result of CMS’ review.  CMS processes payments to the owners on the first business day of the month.

If an owner has a question or needs guidance, we gladly help them.  A good working relationship is very important to ensure timely and accurate voucher and special claim submissions.

How we work with HUD...

CMS works closely with HUD to ensure accurate and timely payments to owners.  We share important information and provide updates to each other to guarantee quality processing.  HUD monitors our performance and reviews our invoice submissions on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis.
