Explain to the deemor that financial permission is an eligibility requirement for
SSI benefits.
Document the deemor’s refusal to provide financial permission as follows:
-
•
Print a copy of the “Financial Permission Request - Deemor (T16)” letter from the
General section of DPS. Have the deemor read and sign the document, indicating their
refusal to provide financial permission. For more information related to obtaining
the financial permission, see SI 00515.001.
-
•
Document the deemor’s refusal to provide financial permission on the EVID screen.
Do not lock the MSSICS pending file for a deferred application unless the claim is
medically allowed. For more information on how to adjudicate medical allowances for
deferred applications, see SI 00515.010E.2. in this section.
NOTE: Systems changes released on November 21, 2009, made the Financial Institutions Permission
screen (AFIP screen) a mandatory screen when completing a deferred application.
