B. When to Use Form SSA-4345-U2
1. General
The PC completes section I to record the title II data necessary for the FO to do an offset computation. This data is transmitted to the FO by phone call, fax, e-mail etc. from the PC.
2. Number of Forms
D/E cases — only one form is required even if computing title II offset for both benefits at once.
Couple's cases — complete one if only one member is entitled to retroactive benefits; complete two if both members are entitled to retroactive title II benefits.
C. Procedure — PC
Complete section I according to the following directions:
1. Block A
Enter the CMA paid and month paid.
D/E cases - enter CMA and date paid for both benefits.
Pay the CMA only in concurrent title II/title XVI cases when processing through MADCAP.
2. Block B
Enter total retroactive title II benefits withheld.
If establishing new entitlement to a higher rate, (A to HA) show only the difference between old and new rate.
D/E and RIB/DIB cases - Show the retroactive title II withheld for both benefits.
3. Block C
Monthly Breakdown Section
List the months the benefits would have been paid and MBC or the amounts being withheld. e.g. MBC is $200, but $150 has already been paid on another claim so amount to be shown is $50.
-
If more than one type is involved, list the MBC's under the appropriate columns for each type.
EXAMPLE: The RSI benefits - Show each type under separate RSI headings.
4. Remarks Section
