Offset the title II benefits using only the title XVI retroactive benefits that we
actually paid or will pay. If the balance of the title XVI retroactive benefits is
not payable to a survivor, then only offset the amount paid to the claimant, to the
State for IAR, and any fee paid to a representative. Always pay the IAR before the
representative fee. For procedures to determine the windfall offset period when the
recipient dies, see GN 02610.050C.1. For instructions on when to pay the fee in this situation, see SI 02101.003 and SI
02101.004.
