Manually issuing a Rent Certificate (SU523HD) 108-18092623
Issuing an SU523HD
An SU523HD is automatically generated and issued to a customer when:
- a new claim is granted
- they are current on a relevant payment and notify of a change in their accommodation circumstances and the accommodation details (AC) screen is updated, and
- verification of rent is required
After the AC screen is updated, automatic processing will occur overnight and the SU523HD will be mailed to the customer’s postal address the following business day. The SU523HD will then appear in the Search Outbound Correspondence tool in Customer First.
Service Officers are only required to manually issue a SU523HD as an ‘Immediate Print’ using Process Direct when:
- the AC screen has been updated with the correct details
- the automatically generated rent certificate does not appear in the Search Outbound Correspondence tool in Customer First and
- the customer is physically present in an office and needs a copy of the form as it has:
- not been received
- been misplaced, or
- been incorrectly completed by a customer or landlord
Note: intermittent printing delays can be experienced when manually requesting an 'Immediate Print' of a customer's Rent Certificate (SU523HD) through Process Direct. Service Officers must not process multiple manual 'Immediate Print' requests for the same customer before receiving the 'Print was successful/not successful' message. Doing this will increase the volume of items queued to print and cause further delays.
