Automate EIV with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Monthly Failed Verification check, every contract

  Build this

  Starts

  On the 1st of every month at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each contract you name, get the Failed Verification Report.

  Step 2

  Keep the contracts where either list has at least one household member.

  Step 3

  Email you the names, one section per contract, with the report date.

• Monthly New Hires Report check, new names only

  Build this

  Starts

  On the 1st of every month at 8:00

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get the New Hires Report” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "hudapps.hud.gov/get_new_hires_report",
    "input": {
      "contract_number": "XX00A000000"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "contract_number": "XX00A000000",
    "report_date": "2026-11-02",
    "tenants": [
      {
        "tenant_name": "Jordan Example",
        "employer_name": "Acme Logistics LLC",
        "date_hired": "2026-08-17"
      },
      {
        "tenant_name": "Sam Sample",
        "employer_name": "Globex Retail Inc",
        "date_hired": "2026-09-29"
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

EIV’s own options

HUD describes EIV as a web-based application that gives owners employment, wage, unemployment and Social Security benefit information matched from SSA and HHS records. Reports are pulled on screen by contract or project number and printed for the EIV master file or the tenant file. HUD's handbook describes no API for owners.

Read on November 12, 2026: HUD Handbook 4350.3, 9-4 Introduction to the EIV System, HUD Handbook 4350.3, 9-11 EIV Income Reports.

Signing in to EIV

EIV users sign in with their own user ID and password, and each person's access is approved on a Coordinator or User Access Authorization Form, with security awareness training every year. With Fous you sign in through EIV's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Reports go by contract or project number

The Verification Reports are pulled by contract number or project number, which selects the property. The Deceased Tenants Report also takes a property ID, so each method you build takes one of these as its input.

Each master report has its own cadence

The Failed Verification Report is printed monthly, the New Hires and Multiple Subsidy reports at least quarterly. The Deceased Tenants Report runs monthly, every other month or quarterly, as your EIV policies say.

Where each report is kept, and for how long

Income, Summary and Income Discrepancy reports stay in the tenant file for the term of tenancy plus three years. Master files for New Hires, Identity Verification, Multiple Subsidy and Deceased Tenants are kept three years.

Existing Tenant Search comes last

The Existing Tenant Search is run for every member of the applicant household, live-in aides included, as the final step before you offer the unit. Its results are kept with the application.
