Please follow these steps to enter your new Income Limits into Management Plus:

        1)  Browse to Information > Contracts

         For Funding Sources choose Information > Funding Sources

        2)  Highlight your contract and hit 'Edit'

        3)  Click the 'Income Limits' tab

        4)  Click 'Add'

        5)  Enter your username and password. If your username and password does not allow you to add income limits, you'll need to contact your Property Management Company's Management Plus administrator to find out who has permissions to add income limits. Administrators can set this permission through Centralized/Password Security > Information Menu > Subsidized Contracts Submenu > 'Income Limits'

        6)  Set the 'Effective Date' to 05/14/2010

        7)  Enter income limits for fields 1-8. 9-12 will fill themselves in. If you are not sure what your income limits are, you can follow this link to HUD's income limit list for 2010:     HUD 2010 Income Limits

        8)  Once your income limits are updated you can hit 'OK' to save them

        9)  If you have another Contract in the same Company that has the exact same income limits, you can copy the ones you've already entered by following these steps:

                  i) Follow steps 1-6 above, choosing a different contract

                  ii) After entering your Effective Date, Click 'Copy From...'

                  iii) Click the 'Copy From' menu and choose the contract that you already entered the income limits for

                  iv) Choose the 05/14/2010 Effective Date

                  v) Hit OK - this will import the income limits that you already entered into the current contract.
