Annual recertification for low-income rent

It's October 17, 2024. I live in a LIHTC property. I signed my lease on January 17th 2024. ,My certification effective date is January 17 when I signed my lease. My annual Recertification will be January 17, 2025.

I currently receive SSDI benefits. I get an annual Benefits Award letter from SSA every year with has my new benefits amount beginning January 1st. They calculate it using the new COLA (cost of living) rates, which go into effect the following year. Thet amount is announced every year in October.

My leasing agents are doing my re-certification now. For my proof of income they want to use my current 2024 gross benefits minus the current 2024 COLA amount. and then calculate what my 2025 benefits will be using the 2025 COLA amounts.

I didn't want to do that. I want to wait until I get my official Benefits Award Letter. They did not like that, they're threatening to evict me if I won't fill out what my income will be using their calculations. But I won't I know what my income and bank account balances, etc will be until then.

They've burned me in the past by pulling similar stunts.

Can they make me do that?
