The following events result in the suspension of SVB:

• •

  Cessation of residency outside the United States (loss of foreign residence);

• •

  Failure to provide information;

• •

  Whereabouts unknown;

• •

  Check returned for miscellaneous reasons;

• •

  Other benefit income precludes SVB; and

• •

  A disqualification event occurs.

SVB entitlement terminates (PSY T31) the first day of the 13^th consecutive month after the effective date of a suspension that resulted from one (or a combination) of the above events as explained in VB 01505.005. Note: See SI 02301.205 on Suspension and Reestablishing Eligibility for SSI benefit payments.

The following events are considered stop-payment events for SVB purposes:

• •

  An SVB beneficiary who is a U.S. citizen or national resides in a Treasury-barred country;

• •

  An SVB beneficiary resides in an SSA-restricted country; and

• •

  Representative payee development is pending and direct payment would cause substantial harm to the beneficiary.

An adjustment in other benefit income adversely affects the SVB payable for one or more months.
