Usually anyone who meets the SDP suspension criteria will already have individual
benefits suspended under the routine prisoner suspension rules (LAF S7 RFST PRISON).
This is true because the first criteria for SDP suspension is that the individual
has to have been confined in a jail, prison, or other state penal facility pursuant
to a conviction of a criminal offense.
Before reinstating benefits to anyone whose benefits have been suspended under routine
prisoner provisions, you should ask the beneficiary for their current mailing and
residence address. If the current mailing or residence address is the MTC (MA0016), you must determine if the individual meets
the SDP suspension criteria outlined in GN BOS02607.360A.
If benefits cannot be reinstated because the individual now meets the SDP suspension
criteria, send a Prisoner 795 FAX sheet to the appropriate PSC requesting that the
RFST code be changed from PRISON to PREDTR.
