Updated – Online HAPCheck Live
HAPCheck is now live!
Coming October 1st, AHA has introduced a new system to allow HAP payments to be viewed online. Using this new system, called HAPCheck, Landlords will be able to view the previous 18 months of HAP payments. HAPCheck is a centralized, secure, web-based system for producing on-line statements for all owners. HAPCheck eliminates the need for creating paper payment statements, saving time, eliminating excess paper usage and improving owner access to data.
