Information on all withdrawal determinations (whether approved or disapproved) is to be posted to the individual case REMARKS on the San Francisco Special Veterans Benefits (SVB) Intranet site. Whether the effectuation of a withdrawal is reflected on the Supplemental Security Record (SSR) is contingent on the data elements on the SSR when the withdrawal is to be effectuated.

SVB allowances (i.e., SVB is actually payable) must be reflected on the SSR in order for SVB payments to be to certified. Pending SVB claims (i.e., determination of entitlement has not yet been made) and disallowed SVB claims will not be reflected on the SSR. Therefore, withdrawal requests received prior to an SVB determination of entitlement cannot be processed through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) system since the data elements on the SSR will not pertain to the SVB claim being withdrawn.

The systems payment status code for a withdrawn claim after determination of entitlement is N12. When an N12 action is processed, it is applied to the application date reflected on the SSR. Therefore, when effectuating a withdrawal through the Consolidated Claims Experience (CCE), it is imperative that the SSR reflect the SVB application date that the N12 is being applied to. If the SSR reflects an application date other than the SVB application (e.g., a title XVI application), CCE processing of the withdrawal is precluded.
