This section provides procedures for developing recipient allegations about current household composition during the RZ interview.
Opening a “REDETERMINATION with or without RECAPs” event creates a MSSICS “path” which guides the interviewer to the appropriate screens to document allegations and evidence relating to current household composition, as necessary.
There is no question on form SSA-8202-BK specifically designed to elicit information about current household composition.
Question 7 on form SSA-8203-BK — Do any other people live in the same household with you and your spouse?
Skip question 7 on the SSA-8203-BK if the recipient's permanent residence is an institution.
If the recipient has an ineligible spouse, list them in the spaces provided.
Do not re-list the individuals documented in the fill-in spaces for question 6.
Develop allegations about current household composition as follows:
If the recipient alleges no other people live with them and other information in SSA records agrees , do not develop current household composition further.
If the recipient alleges that someone else lives in the household or no one else lives in the household and other information in SSA records conflicts, develop any changes per instructions in SI 02305.088G.
Determine if a protective writing applies for other individuals who live in the household such as the ineligible spouse (i.e., they turned 65, or became blind or disabled) per:
GN 00204.010 for protective writing criteria; and
GN 00204.012 and SI 00601.037D for closeout procedures.
Document information as required by POMS instructions for the issues listed in SI 02305.089F.
SSA-8202-BK - List individuals who move into or out of the household and document material information in REMARKS section of the form.
SSA-8203-BK - complete the fill-in spaces on the form. If necessary, use the REMARKS section of the form, too.
