In cases where a person alleges eligibility for a PIM payment, but did not receive
a payment:
-
•
contact the appropriate agency; verify and document the reason the PIM paying agency
made no payment; and,
-
•
exclude the deemor's income if eligibility for the PIM program exists.
If the agency states that there is no eligibility for the PIM program, deem the ineligible
spouse's or parent's (or parents’) income to the eligible individual or child as appropriate.
NOTE: We consider a deemor who files for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on or after
August 22, 1996 eligible for a PIM payment in the month before his or her application’s
effective date (i.e., in the E02 month).
