Question 22 collects information necessary for developing a living arrangement determination when the claimant lives in an institution.
Enter the name of the institution. Enter the address in the applicable address block in Part VIII.
Record the date of admittance for the claimant as explained in SI 00520.001D.2 Procedure for verification of admissions and SI 00520.001D.4 Procedure when “throughout a month” is not met.
Record the date of expected discharge. For verifying the date of discharge, see SI 00520.001D.3.
NOTE: If the claimant is or was residing in a jail, prison or other correctional facility, check the Prisoner Update Processing System (PUPS) to determine if a PUPS record exists.
