If the recipient contacts the FO alleging nonreceipt of an IAR payment, before transmitting
an IAR nonreceipt, the SSR must show that SSA issued an IAR payment to the State or
Local Agency. The Regional Office IAR Coordinator will instruct the technician to
transmit a nonreceipt of IAR reimbursement payments made to State agencies only when
:
-
a.
A representative of the State agency that advanced the funds alleges that the payment
was not received; and
-
b.
The SSR shows an IAR payment was issued (PMTH PAYFLAG 3 = 1 or 5)
NOTE:
SSA used to identify Zebley court cases with a “5” in PAYFLAG 3. However, now the
“5” indicates the issuance of an IAR payment.
IMPORTANT: When the SSI system cannot automate the scheduled IAR payment to a state agency,
a manual FO intervention is required to release it. The PMTH segment will display
the payment as 4N1 in PAYFLAG 1, 2 and 3, respectively. See SM 01005.625 for more
information.
