For alleged nonreceipt cases where SSA inputs a B-stop, the Department of the Treasury
issues a courtesy replacement check payment. For Title XVI, when the original check
is subsequently cashed, the SSI system automatically places an F-stop on the courtesy
replacement check payment. For Title II, when the original check is subsequently cashed,
an alert goes to the Field Office (FO) and an automated F-stop action occurs in the
Program Service Center (PSC) on the courtesy replacement check payment. If an automated
F-stop is not possible, the PSC will input a manual F-stop action (For more information
see GN 02408.025).
NOTE: The F-stop prompts a status of the payment. For F-stop actions, Treasury sends a claims
package to the beneficiary or recipient. Treasury also makes the claims package available
in the Treasury Check Information System (TCIS).
