For any MSSICS or non-MSSICS waiver, compromise offer or any decision to discontinue
or suspend collection of an SSI overpayment that is $20,000 or greater the SR/TSR/CR
will:
-
•
input the individual's decision on appropriate MSSICS screen,

•
refer the case to a member of field office management for approval
If the SR/TSR/CR attempts to process the decision, the individual will receive an
alert that management approval is required.
The OS/MSS or higher will:
-
•
review the case for accuracy,
-
•
email the case referral to CPS using the designated referral form located on the Boston
Region’s Center for Program Support – SSI website.
If the member of management tries to process the approval the member of management
will receive an alert that RO approval is required.
The CPS specialist will transmit the decision if the CPS specialist concurs with it.
If the CPS specialist does not concur with the decision the CPS specialist will advise
field office management of the additional development required.
