In deferred development claims, tell the claimant to:
-
•
Contact the FO if we do not contact them by the date shown on the form.
-
•
Advise us of any moves or changes in mailing address. (Be sure the claimant understands
that we may need more information before we can decide eligibility, and that we need
to have an address or telephone number to contact them to expedite processing.)
-
•
Notify us as soon as possible if a medical facility admits them.
REMINDER: Failure to notify us quickly could result in a loss of payments for the months they
are in the medical facility. For information on temporary institutionalization, see
SI 00520.140.
