Starting with    (10)    , we count the money as if we paid it to    (11)    during the month it was due. This means we count the Social Security money as    (12)          (13)          (14)    .

The parent-to-child deeming computation changed effective November 1, 1992. However, the system has not yet begun using the new computation. When the system begins using it, this paragraph will be included on a one-time notice to recipients affected by the change.

 

We use the parents' income to figure the amount of a child's SSI payment. In doing this, we count only part of the parents' income. Beginning November 1992, we changed the way we figure how much of the parents' income we count. As a result, in many cases we count less. This change is the reason    (1)     due more SSI as shown in the above chart.

We may owe (1) more SSI money. We're asking the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) if some of the money they paid (2) was for medical expenses. If so, we won't count that money in figuring (3) SSI payments. We'll write to you again to let you know what VA tells us. Until then, we will count all (4) VA money against (5) SSI payments.

  • We owe (1) more SSI money. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) told us that (2) VA payments include money for medical expenses. Because (3) of your VA payment for (4) is for medical expenses, we won't count that money in figuring your SSI payments.

  • Later in this letter, we'll tell you how much money we counted against (5) SSI payments for the months we changed.

INCM04.   Situation Where Used:

We have allowed an initial claim but we are still in the process of verifying that VA is paying for medical expenses. Subsequently, we receive verification that the claimant's VA payment does not include money for medical expenses. Use on an SSA-L8166-U2, Notice of Important Information.

 

 

We wrote you earlier that we are asking the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for additional information about (1) payments from them. We needed to find out if (2) VA payments include money for (3) medical expenses.

 

WHAT VA TOLD US

VA told us that (4) payments don't include additional money for medical expenses. That means we must count (5) full VA payment of (6) for (7) against your SSI payments. As a result, we have figured your SSI payments correctly.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD REMEMBER

If (8) monthly VA payments change to include money for medical expenses, contact us right away. If this is true, (9) may be due more SSI money.
