Since most payee decisions will be made in the field offices (FO), the FO will be
responsible for sending the appropriate notices. Most notices reflected below are
contained in the DPS.
Use the following charts to determine what final notice to send to which recipient.
(Instructions for advance notices are in GN 00503.100, MS 07412.008 and NL 00703.763)
The T2R notice system automatically processes most title II postentitlement notices.
However, some of these are “I” (incomplete) or “R” (review) notices that require the
PC to complete specific information like an address. (See NL 00730.020C.) PCs should prepare and release these notices after receiving the T2R3 output.
Obtain the necessary information by querying the MBR and/or eRPS. Drop file the T2R3
output into the claims folder.
NOTE: SSA-11 packages will no longer be routinely sent to the PC.
Many title XVI notices involving initial appointment and changes of payee (i.e., payee-to-payee)
are automated. In addition, the eRPS can be used to generate non-select notices to
both adults and children. However, some actions still require manual notices.
In the chart that follows, the “Type of Action” column provides information on whether
the notice is systems generated (“automated”), produced by eRPS (ANSN) or must be
prepared manually.
