Provide additional documentation if the denial depends wholly or partly on deemed income or resources. For disabled children, be sure to document that the deeming waiver provision described in SI 01310.201 does not apply.

Provide enough detail about household composition since routine completion of an SSA-8001-BK (Application for Supplemental Security Income) may not provide enough information in some cases. Include the necessary information in the "Remarks" section and clearly indicate the number of deeming allocations; e.g., ineligible children and their income.

Document why the amount you excluded was less than the maximum allowable under SI 01130.410C.1. (or, if less than the maximum was designated, why you excluded less than the designated amount for burial) if:

• •

  an individual/couple alleges having funds set aside for burial,

• •

  the reason for denial is excess resources of no more than $1,500 ($3,000 if the allegation applies to both spouses), and

• •

  exclusion up to $1,500/$3,000 of alleged burial funds would result in eligibility.

Develop and document net rental income if the denial depends wholly or partly on rental income.

If the claim will be denied solely due to excess nonliquid resources, and liquid resources do not exceed the statuatory limits ($2000/$3000) , develop the possibility of a resource exclusion under the conditional benefits provision. See SI 01150.200.

Use the "Remarks" section to explain why N03 or N17 applies.

Document whether a VA benefit is augmented because of dependents per SI 00830.314 if:

• •

  the claimant alleges receiving a VA benefit as a veteran or widow(er) of a veteran, and

• •

  the claim could be denied wholly or partly because of receipt of the VA benefit.
