Do not delay adjudication and payment (including the lump sum death payment (LSDP))
except at the request of the claimant, unless readily available information shows
that the claimant has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to killing the
worker by an act, that precludes entitlement.
Reopen the claim at any time if benefits are paid and SSA later establishes that we
should not have entitled the claimant.
Do not delay entitlement based on a grand jury indictment or any other official act
by law enforcement agencies only charging the claimant in the homicide of the number
holder (NH).
