This section provides procedures for developing recipient allegations about changes in household composition during the RZ interview.
Opening a “REDETERMINATION with or without RECAPs” event in the SSI Claims System creates a “path” which guides the interviewer to the appropriate screens to document allegations and evidence relating to changes in household composition, as necessary.
Question 6 on form SSA-8203-BK Since the date above, has anyone moved into or out of the place where you live (including births and deaths)?
The number, relationship and ages of persons who share the household affect LA/ISM development.
Ages of people in the household are important.
EXAMPLE: A child's age can be a factor in developing LA, inside ISM, or deeming.
Skip question 6 on form SSA-8203-BK if the recipient's permanent residence is an institution.
Developing allegations about changes in household composition as follows:
If the recipient alleges no change in household composition and other information in SSA records agrees, do not develop changes in household composition further.
If the recipient alleges a change in household composition or no change and other information in SSA records conflicts, develop, as necessary per:
Marital status (SI 02305.083)
Deeming of income and resources per SI 01320.000, SI 01330.000

State supplementary payments per SI 01410.001
Child/student-child status per SI 00501.010 and SI 00501.020
