iMAX Transition Deadline
|
The deadline for properties to be ready to utilize iMAX is a few short weeks away. Are you ready?
Every property will need to have at least one Coordinator who is registered in the HUD Secure System. This can be an owner or a management agent staff. Any additional employees who will be transmitting files in iMAX will need to be registered as a User in the HUD Secure System.
The multi-step Coordinator registration and activation process has been problematic for some, but is well worth the effort. Coordinators in the HUD Secure System receive notifications of REAC Inspection Reports as well as financial filing Flags. Both Users and Coordinators can be activated to have access to viewing and printing out REAC Inspection and EH&S reports. Being prepared for the iMAX transition, can have many benefits, if registration and activation are processed correctly.
Registration, obtaining of M ID numbers, and activation of roles and rights to systems can take up to 3 weeks. Do not delay in preparing for this required transition.

Did you know?
You may not share M ID numbers or passwords in the HUD Secure System. Failure to follow HUD's guidelines on this rule can result in permanent termination of access to the HUD Secure System for the User or Coordinator.
If you need to work in any of the systems contained under the HUD Secure System umbrella - APPS, PASS, EIV, iMAX and others, you need your own M ID number. M ID's are mailed to Owners. They will not be provided over the phone.

| HUD Secure System Tip of the Week |
Did you know?
M ID numbers and Activation Key Code letters are mailed by HUD to the address your Business Partner registered in APPS.
When requesting access to new entities, be sure to check the accuracy of the address before hitting "confirm" - if it is wrong, do not proceed.
Activation Key Code letters are sent in plain white window envelopes, which do not have your name on them. Instead, envelopes simply read "Attention: CEO" Some say they look like "junk mail" when they arrive. Be sure to notify your mail room so they are not tossed aside.
While waylaid Key Code letters are a source of continued frustration for Users, you need to do your part in avoiding common problems.
