SVB can be paid the first month during which the beneficiary did not remain in a Treasury-barred country throughout the entire month as long as he/she continues to meet all SVB qualification requirements. See VB 01503.615 for instructions for paying SVB withheld while the beneficiary was in a Treasury-barred country.

SVB can be paid the first month during which the beneficiary did not remain in a Treasury-barred country throughout the entire month if:

• •

  SVB payments have not been terminated (e.g., PSY T31 after being in suspense for 12 consecutive months); and

• •

  The individual meets all SVB qualification requirements.

REMINDER: Non-U.S. citizens or nationals cannot be qualified individuals for SVB purposes during any month he/she resides in a Treasury-barred country and, as a result, any SVB payments withheld while in a Treasury-barred country are NOT payable.

Follow VB 01503.100.

Conduct a face-to-face interview with the SVB beneficiary to verify that he/she is no longer in the barred/restricted country.

Obtain proof of the beneficiary's identity using the guidelines in RM 00207.010. Also establish his/her foreign residence, as explained in VB 00205.155D, and verify that all SVB qualification requirements in VB 00102.001 continue to be met.

Fax and mail all material to the CPS having SVB jurisdiction.
