Pre-flight every HUD-50058 and HUD-50059 against the live TRACS error catalog. Catch the fatal before it leaves your office, not after the two-day TRACS round trip that holds your HAP.

Starts at $4/unit/month. No 50-unit minimum.

What is the 50058 Error Audit?

The 50058 Error Audit is a pre-submission check that runs every HUD-50058 and HUD-50059 against the full HUD TRACS error catalog before the file is encrypted and shipped to PIC. Fatal errors get caught here, not after a two-day round-trip with TRACS rejecting the submission and holding the household's HAP payment until you resubmit a clean file.

What ExactEstate does for 50058 submission

Runs the full TRACS error catalog against every household in under 4 seconds — rent calculation, household composition, income-source codes, effective-date math. Surfaces fatals, warnings, and the one valid fix for the ~60% of errors that have a single deterministic correction. Blocks submission until the file is clean. Compliance checkpoints enforce that no known fatal can leave the system for TRACS.

How the audit works

  1. Drop in the household file — TIC, recertification, or move-in.
  2. The audit scans against the live TRACS error catalog — fatals, warnings, and one-click fixes shown on a single screen.
  3. Submit clean. TRACS accepts on the first pass; HAP voucher posts to the property on time.

Audit trail

Every 50058 audit pass writes to an append-only audit log indexed for query. Frozen HUD-50058 and HUD-50059 snapshots, period-close enforcement, and HAP voucher reconciliation are linked to the originating audit run so a SEMAP, MOR, or 9834 review can trace every submitted household back to the pre-flight pass that cleared it.

Pricing

Starts at $4/unit/month. No 50-unit minimum. The audit is included on every plan. If you ship a fatal error on a file that passed the audit, this month is free — that's in writing in the MSA.

FAQ

What is a HUD-50058 fatal error?

A fatal error is a TRACS-rejected condition on a HUD-50058 submission that stops the household's HAP payment until the file is corrected and resubmitted. Common fatals: rent-calc mismatch (line 12c vs household income), household composition (relationship codes, head-of-household), and effective-date sequencing (move-in after action date). The 50058 Error Audit catches every fatal in the live TRACS catalog before submission.
