GN 02408.022 Automated F-Stop Process for Checks Only

A. Background

 

For alleged nonreceipt cases where SSA inputs a B-stop, the Department of the Treasury issues a courtesy replacement check payment. For Title XVI, when the original check is subsequently cashed, the SSI system automatically places an F-stop on the courtesy replacement check payment. For Title II, when the original check is subsequently cashed, an alert goes to the Field Office (FO) and an automated F-stop action occurs in the Program Service Center (PSC) on the courtesy replacement check payment. If an automated F-stop is not possible, the PSC will input a manual F-stop action (For more information see GN 02408.025).

 

NOTE: The F-stop prompts a status of the payment. For F-stop actions, Treasury sends a claims package to the beneficiary or recipient. Treasury also makes the claims package available in the Treasury Check Information System (TCIS).
