Epic gives you flexibility to support all your lines of business, including group, exchange, Medicare Advantage, Managed Medicaid, and delegated risk. EPIC's Interest. EPIC has a strong interest in open government. Public disclosure of this information improves government oversight and accountability. It also helps ensure that the public is fully informed about the activities of government. EPIC routinely files lawsuits to force disclose of agency records that impact critical privacy interests. EPIC Eligibility Requirements. To join EPIC, a senior must: be a New York State resident age 65 or older; have an annual income below $75,000 if single or $100,000 if married; be enrolled or eligible to be enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan (no exceptions),. EPIC functions on a daily time step and can simulate hundreds of years. Since the initial development, EPIC has been continually improving through the additions of algorithms to simulate water quality, nitrogen and carbon cycling, climate change, and the effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Military Epic Passes do not provide access to any of our partner resorts, including Telluride, Sun Valley, Snowbasin, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (Fernie, Kicking Horse, Kimberley, Nakiska, Mont Sainte Anne, Stoneham), Hakuba Valley, Rusutsu or any European access.
Notice to PHAs: The authorization for automatic approvals of 5YAPs in EPIC has now expired. All 5YAP submissions require HUD Field Office review and approval. Please check out our website for updated guidance on the new Document Management Center, Activity Planning Guide and how to add a user to EPIC.

New Users
If you are a PHA staff person click here
If you are a PHA staff person you need to access to EPIC, please click here
If you are a
Tribe or TDHE staff person
click here
If you are a Tribe or TDHE staff person (i.e. your organization receives Indian Housing Block Grant funding) and you already have a Secure Systems (aka 'M') ID, you just need to request access to EPIC, please contact your local Regional Office.
If you are a HUD user click here
If you are a HUD user, that has never been activated in EPIC you must request access to EPIC (system P279) through the DIAMS system.
If you have an EPIC account but are having other difficulties logging in, please try resetting your WASS password. If this does not resolve your problem, send an email to either EPICHelp@hud.gov (PHA or public housing users) or ONAP_EPICHelp@hud.gov (Tribe/TDHE or ONAP users) and explain the issue you are encountering. In your e-mail, include your name, your User ID, your organization's name, and the specific type of error you are receiving. It would also be helpful (but not required) if you could send a screen shot of the problem screen and then paste the screen shot into the email. (The procedures for taking a screen shot vary depending on the version of Windows a person uses - to get instructions type 'screen shot' in an Internet search engine to find instructions).
All EPIC users should have their own user name and password.
Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) Model
Epic Games Launcher
Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model is a cropping systems model that was developed to estimate soil productivity as affected by erosion as part of the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act analysis for 1980, which revealed a significant need for improving technology for evaluating the impacts of soil erosion on soil productivity. EPIC simulates approximately eighty crops with one crop growth model using unique parameter values for each crop. It predicts effects of management decisions on soil, water, nutrient and pesticide movements, and their combined impact on soil loss, water quality, and crop yields for areas with homogeneous soils and management.
EPIC functions on a daily time step and can simulate hundreds of years. Since the initial development, EPIC has been continually improving through the additions of algorithms to simulate water quality, nitrogen and carbon cycling, climate change, and the effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The processes simulated include leaf interception of solar radiation; conversion to biomass; division of biomass into roots, above ground mass, and economic yield; root growth; water use; and nutrient uptake. It can be configured for a wide range of crop rotations and other vegetative systems, tillage systems, and other management practices. The model can also assess the cost of erosion for determining optimal management strategies.
