The FMR is not what the voucher pays. Each housing authority sets its own payment standard, normally between 90% and 110% of the published figure. When a new one pushes the old schedule outside that range, the authority has up to three months after the effective date to publish a new one (24 CFR 982.503). Until it does, the old payment standards still apply, so call the authority before you rely on the new number.

Already renting with a voucher in Corvallis? Once the housing authority raises its payment standard, the higher amount must be used for your subsidy no later than the earliest of three dates: a rent increase that would raise your share, your next regular or interim reexamination, or one year after the increase took effect (24 CFR 982.505(c)(4)).

Landlords: a higher FMR does not raise a contract rent by itself. You still request the increase from the housing authority, and the new rent has to pass its rent reasonableness review against comparable unassisted units.
