NOTE: Need was indicated in these types of cases. Therefore, if sufficient evidence is
later received which indicates the claimant is entitled to benefits although additional
evidence might be required for a final determination, pay the claim via CPS regardless
of the length of time which has elapsed from the initial preliminary payment request.
Show in the NPF section of Form SSA-3263 (Critical Payment Direct Input) “CPS processed
in accordance with RS 02807.045B., prior denied 205(q)(3) Case,
requirements now met.” When all evidence for a final determination is received, forward the claims material
to the special PC address for critical cases under cover of Form SSA-1671 (Request
for Critical Case Payment). Annotate on the SSA-1671 “CPS payments made
on prior denied preliminary payment request. Claimant entitled.” If claimant is found not entitled, follow instructions found in RS
02807.040D.
