In deferred development claims, tell the claimant to:
-
•
Contact the FO if we do not contact him or her by the date shown on the form.
-
•
Advise us of any moves or changes in mailing address. (Be sure the claimant understands
that we may need more information before we can decide eligibility, and that we need
to have an address or telephone number to contact him or her to expedite processing.)
-
•
Notify us as soon as possible if a medical facility admits him or her.
REMINDER: Failure to notify us quickly could result in a loss of payments for the months he
or she is in the medical facility. For information on temporary institutionalization,
see SI 00520.140.
