A. Introduction

This section provides procedures for developing recipient allegations about current household composition during the RZ interview.

B. Description of RZs Completed on MSSICS Screens

Opening a “REDETERMINATION with or without RECAPs” event creates a MSSICS “path” which guides the interviewer to the appropriate screens to document allegations and evidence relating to current household composition, as necessary.

C. Description of Form SSA-8202-BK

There is no question on form SSA-8202-BK specifically designed to elicit information about current household composition.

D. Description of Form SSA-8203-BK - Question 7

Question 7 on form SSA-8203-BK — Do any other people live in the same household with you and your spouse?

E. Procedure - SSA-8203-BK

Skip question 7 on the SSA-8203-BK if the recipient's permanent residence is an institution.

If the recipient has an ineligible spouse, list him/her in the spaces provided.

Do not re-list the individuals documented in the fill-in spaces for question 6.

F. Procedure - developing allegations

Develop allegations about current household composition as follows:

1. Recipient alleges no other people live with him/her

2. Recipient alleges that someone else lives in the household or no one else lives in the household
