SSA's objective is to pay Special Veterans Benefits (SVB) accurately and when due.
To achieve this objective, SSA has a responsibility to process changes that affect
an individual's ongoing SVB qualification, entitlement and/or payment. These changes
may result in an adverse SVB adjustment such as a suspension, stop payment or benefit
reduction. This subchapter describes the various SVB post-qualification and postentitlement
events that can result in an adverse action and provides instructions on processing
these events.
