If the beneficiary subsequently cooperates and provides the requested information
during the 12-month suspension period, reinstate benefits for any previous months
for which they are otherwise payable if all other factors of entitlement are met.
The beneficiary does not file an appeal to have benefits reinstated.
If the beneficiary does not cooperate during the 12-month suspension period, benefits
automatically terminate effective the 13th month. No benefit continuation will be
offered.
