EXAMPLE:

Individual was determined eligible for SSI benefits on the application filed on April 13, 2004, and the first month of recurring payments was for September 1, 2004. No SSI payment was due for April 2004 since it is the E02 month. The individual also had too much income on July 2004 and, therefore, no SSI payment was due.
