Verify that the action applies to all beneficiaries for whom the organization or individual
is payee before proceeding. Then take the following actions:
-
a.
Use the Make Note screen found in MS 07415.002 to indicate reasons for the payee closure
and any other important information about the event.
-
b.
Management completes the appropriate termination actions. If this is a FFS payee closing,
first update the Fee for Service screen by adding the Stop Date and the Reason Stopped
to preserve the Fee for Service screen data MS 07414.008 . Then take action to terminate
the payee in eRPS.
-
•
Terminate Organization/Institution screen per MS 07414.004 ; and
-
•
List of Active Beneficiaries screen when you have completed the changes for all beneficiaries
per MS 07413.002 .
If the payee is subject to expanded monitoring, annotate the Representative
Payee Monitoring Application (RPMA). For information regarding the RPMA process, see GN 00605.406A.3.
REMINDER: You will no longer be able to select this organization or individual to be payee
without a new face-to-face application. Terminating a payee relationship in eRPS does
not terminate the payee relationship on the MBR/SSR. It is the FO’s responsibility
to take action to place the beneficiary in direct pay or select a new payee by creating
a new representative payee application through the eRPS system so that the LAF code
and payee data on the MBR or SSR updates accordingly.
