Paper 2530s OK through April '06

In the continuing saga of HUD's paperless-office paperwork reduction paperwork, the law firm of Nixon Peabody this week got hold of an official memo saying HUD-2530 Previous Participation Certifications may be filed on paper, i.e. not necessarily through the electronic Active Partner Performance System (APPS), until April 30, 2006. Nixon Peabody's accompanying memo warns:

If you have not completed the APPS process, it is critical that you file paper 2530s during this window for any transactions you think you may be involved with. We had a good number of unhappy clients who had not completed the APPS process but had failed to file a paper 2530 before the end of November, while paper filings were permitted. Do not let this happen to you.

The firm has posted a copy of the HUD memo on its site.
