Belmont Housing Resources for WNY is pleased to offer participating area landlords who have tenants receiving Section 8 Rental Assistance the convenience of HAPCheck™ and Direct Deposit for their Housing Assistance Program payments.

This secure on-line system enables Sec. 8 landlords to verify that the correct HAP payments have been deposited into their bank account. The easy-to-use site will allow you to review payments anytime from any computer from as far back as 18 months ago.

To access your account, follow these easy steps:

  1. Go to www.hapcheck.com.
  2. Enter your Tax ID. This is the Taxpayer ID or Social Security number you provided to Belmont.
  3. Enter the password number previously provided to you by Belmont. If you don't remember yours, contact Donna Minkiewicz at (716) 884-2358 Ext. 115
  4. Click "Log in." Once you've accessed the system, you'll be given the opportunity to choose a new password. Please keep in mind that if you do change your password number, no one at Belmont will know your new number and will not be able to look it up for you if you forget it. So be sure that you record it in a safe, secure place for future use. If you have any trouble accessing your information, please call.
