It is not appropriate to complete an ABAP if a question of nonmedical eligibility
exists.
Aged claims
If eligibility is unclear, complete a full application and all required development.
Disability/blindness claims
See SI 00603.001 through SI 00603.004.
NOTE: When a Title II disability application is pending and the only item that might preclude SSI benefits is the anticipated future Title II benefit
amount, an ABAP is not the appropriate application to complete. (The Disability Determination
Services (DDS) or Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) may determine a date of onset other
than the date alleged at the time of the application, thereby affecting the Title
II benefit.)
