For cases in which the VA dependent's portion had been reduced to a continuing amount
of zero because of Paxton v.Secretary,input the verified amount of the VA dependent's portion paid to a designated beneficiary
as VA income to the dependent effective with the month in which the verification is received. (This implementation method will usually eliminate the need to make an overpayment
determination for months after the policy effective date). Do not charge a dependent's
portion greater than zero for any months before the month in which verification was
received, unless:
-
•
the benefit was paid to the dependent by apportionment, or
-
•
the dependent's portion is countable per C.3. above.
If verification of the dependent's portion is already in file when the redetermination
or income review is initiated, input the verified amount as VA income to the dependent
effective with the current calendar month at the time of the input.
