Entitlement to (but not necessarily payment of) SVB continues until one of the following
occurs:
-
•
termination after 12 consecutive calendar months of suspension;
-
•
request for voluntary termination; or
-
•
the death of the SVB-entitled individual.
Once SVB entitlement is terminated, an individual must generally file a new application
to reestablish SVB entitlement unless there is a favorable appeal decision or reopening
of the termination determination (see VB 02501.000).
NOTE: The following sections cite the title XVI payment status code (PSC) that refers
to the specific terminating event. See SM 01305.001 for a list of PSCs.
