A. Policy

Goldberg/Kelly automatic payment continuation governs the following types of reopenings and revisions:

• Failure to follow prescribed treatment; and

• Fraud or similar fault.

For information on the cases where the Disability Determination Services (DDS) sends a predetermination due process notice, see Policy – Due Process for Adverse Reopenings DI 27525.001C.

See Also:

• DI 27525.010 - Providing Due Process in Adverse Reopenings Involving Title XVI and Concurrent Title II/Title XVI Cases.

• DI 13015.015 - Benefit Continuation in Failure to Cooperate/Whereabouts Unknown Cases.

• DI 28075.005 - Failure to Cooperate (FTC) and Whereabouts Unknown (WU) Cases

NOTE: Goldberg/Kelly procedures do not apply to Title XVI whereabouts unknown cases because WU (S06) is considered an administrative suspension and does not result in a loss of eligibility.
