OIO technicians review the MBRs of the beneficiaries whose representative payees did
not respond to the second notice. If the MBR shows any of the following actions processed
after the second FEQ mailing, OIO will not suspend benefits for that beneficiary:
-
•
recent change of address,
-
•
recent change of representative payee,
-
•
termination of benefits, or
-
•
suspension of benefits for another reason other than foreign enforcement.
NOTE: If the beneficiary is already in suspense for another reason, OIO will add this special
message to the MBR to alert those reviewing the record not to reinstate benefits:
“Do not resume benefits for (enter the other suspension reason) unless the FEQ is
returned.”
