appropriate adjustments in the rent after consultation with the family 
and upon verification of the information.
    (2) For families who choose flat rents, the PHA must conduct a 
reexamination of family composition at least annually, and must conduct 
a reexamination of family income at least once every three years.
    (3) For all families who include nonexempt individuals, as defined 
in Sec. 960.601, the PHA must determine compliance once each twelve 
months with community service and self-sufficiency requirements in

    (4) The PHA may use the results of these reexaminations to require 
the family to move to an appropriate size unit.
    (b) Interim reexaminations. A family may request an interim 
reexamination of family income or composition because of any changes 
since the last determination. The PHA must make the interim 
reexamination within a reasonable time after the family request. The PHA 
must adopt policies prescribing when and under what conditions the 
family must report a change in family income or composition.
    (c) PHA reexamination policies. The PHA must adopt admission and 
occupancy policies concerning conduct of annual and interim 
reexaminations in accordance with this section, and shall conduct 
reexaminations in accordance with such policies. The PHA reexamination 
policies must be in accordance with the PHA plan.
