SI 02305: Redeterminations of Eligibility and/or Payment Amount

TN 54 (11-06)

A. Introduction

Cases with a profile X and a selection indicator of “F” are selected for limited issue development of continuing type “F” income unless one of the following codes appear in the ID field of the unearned income segment of the SSR:

  • IRFG, IBIA, IOIA, or IIBN is in the first four positions of the ID segment of the unearned income (UMIH) field of the SSR, or

  • TANFC or MULTI is in the first five positions of the ID segment of the UMIH field of the SSR.

The following provides information on how to develop these limited issues.

B. Background

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 replaced Title IV-A of the Social Security Act which provided for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) with cash block grants to States for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). All States were to implement TANF by 07/97.

C. Policy - Recipient Receipt of TANF (Since 07/97)

Recipients may receive TANF and SSI at the same time depending on the States' rules for TANF block grants. See SI 00830.403 for a discussion of TANF.

D. Procedure

NOTE: The RZ WIZ must be used with all Limited Issues (LIs). The RZ WIZ must also be used with all RZs and wage-related diaries. See SI 02305.071.

1. Identifying Limited Issues Selected For Development of Continuing Type “F” Income

Check the redetermination history (CRZD) segment of a SSID for a profile code of X and a selection indicator of F.

2. Developing LIs with Continuing Type “F” Income

Check the ID coding in the UMIH field of the SSID to be sure the income is documented correctly per SI 02305.024D.3. for limited issues being completed in MSSICS and SI 02305.024D.4. for limited issues not being completed in MSSICS.

If the continuing type “F” income is AFDC, follow instructions in SI 00830.400D. and terminate the AFDC.

If the continuing type “F” income is TANF, follow instructions in SI 00830.403C. and any regionally issued POMS instructions.
