Summary
Public housing authorities in Minnesota can request additional documentation to verify eligibility and income. They may ask for detailed information about income exclusions and verification of income, such as pay stubs or employment verification letters. However, it is unusual for them to request an explanation of how wages are determined. If you have already provided all necessary documents, you can ask the housing authority for clarification on why additional information is needed. Contact the Social Security Administration for a detailed benefit explanation letter if required.Full Conversation

I've provided public housing with proof of my disability and my benefit verification letter from social security. Now they want me to get a letter from social security explaining why I receive the benefit amount I receive. Can they do this?

Have they specified why they need this additional information?
No. I've provided all accurate documents of how much i get paid. I thought it was weird that they want to know why i get the amounts I'm given too
