The agency closed out all pending accounting actions in the Electronic Representative
Payee Accounting (eRPA) system concerning mailers, non-responder, and exceptions for
payees that are exempt from annual and final accounting. These closed out actions
will be annotated with the remark, "No Action--Exemption per Public Law 115-165" under
the "Case History" tab.
Regardless of when we requested the annual or final accounting report, do not pursue
outstanding accounting form actions, including:
-
•
Non-responder accounting cases,
-
•
Exception accounting cases, and
-
If the FO identifies an exempt payee with a pending accounting action in eRPA follow
these steps:
-
•
do not pursue the outstanding accounting action,
-
•
select the "Complete" link for the action in eRPA,
-
•
annotate the note field with the remark "No Action-Exemption per Public Law 115-165",
-
•
select resolution type "Approved", and
-
•
click "Yes" to close the case.
Important: In non-responder cases the FO manager may have redirected the benefits to the FO.
The FO must evaluate the payee for continued suitability and completed the SSA-624
as required. See GN 00605.085C.4. throguh GN 00605.085C.6. for more information on
redirection of benefits.
