GN 02613.770 PSC Processing of T2 Suspension Exceptions from the POS/FFEL
NOTE: On April 1, 2009, SSA changed its policy of not paying fleeing felons. Follow the
instructions below only for felony warrants with offense codes 4901, 4902, or 4999.
Follow the Martinez settlement instructions in GN 02613.860 – GN 02613.885 for all other felony warrant codes.
On May 9, 2011, SSA changed its policy and no longer suspends or denies benefits or
payments based solely on a probation or parole violation warrant (i.e., warrants with
offense codes 5011, 5012, 8101, 8102, or 9999 or “Blank” and an offense charge symbol
of “probation or parole violation”). Follow the Clark Court Order instructions in
GN 02615.100 – GN 02615.190 for all probation or parole violation warrants.
We will make additional changes to this section, as necessary, in the future.
A. Procedure – FO/PSC processing of POS/FFEL T2 exceptions
1. FO/PSC input suspension using POS/FFEL — T2 exception occurred
If a T2 exception occurred from the FO or PSC POS/FFEL input, process the suspension
using MACADE/MADCAP.
NOTE: Developing Representative Payee Suitability -- Check RPS in each case where the beneficiary/claimant
has an outstanding felony warrant to determine if he/she is serving as a representative
payee.
Effective 4/2005, persons having an outstanding felony warrant are prohibited from
serving as a payee. There are no exceptions to this prohibition. Refer to GN 00502.133.
