DI is applying for SSI and states they have a monthly mortgage payment of $500 per month but have not made any payments in the last 4 months or received assistance from friends or family. Foreclosure has not occurred yet. Do we charge ISM or PMV?

ISM or PMV would not apply in this situation because nobody is paying the mortgage payments and John still has a legal obligation to make payments on the mortgage. Therefore, the unpaid mortgage payments do not result in ISM for John Smith. SI 00835.115

A DI in current pay leaves the US for an unreported period of time from 07/15/10 - 11/30/11.  A redetermination was done 12/1/11 and the DI does not report the period of absence and sends to OIG. Can you terminate the record?

Yes but after... 

the Office of Inspector General informs us of an investigation that concludes the recipient knowingly failed to report their absence from the U.S. They knowingly concealed information that is material to the deemed initial determinations during the period of absence. A Claims Specialist (CS) reopens and revises the determinations because the determinations were obtained by similar fault. The recipient's record results in at least 12 consecutive months of retroactive suspension due to absence from the U.S. A CS terminates benefits retroactively and calculates an overpayment beginning August 2010, despite the recipient’s current eligibility status.

A child is placed in foster care to their uncle. The agency is providing responsibility but the uncle has agree to care for the child without receiving foster care payments. What is the childs LA and do we charge any income to the child?

They are in non-institutional care. We must contact for an estimate of the CMV of the food, clothing, and shelter that the uncle provides to the child. The uncle states that the value is $250 per month and that the child contributes $150 per month from his SSI check. We determine, applying the PMV rule, that the child receives $100 of ISM.

A disabled recipient who receives $150 a month in worker's compensation. They lived with their ineligible spouse until death on June 15, 1988. Spouse had been working part-time and received gross wages of $400 in May and $200 in June. When does deeming stop, what is her new benefit amount and what is the budget month?

Deeming no longer applies beginning with July. Effective July 1988, Mrs. Pinot is eligible as an individual without a spouse and the FBR for an individual ($354 in July) applies. In determining her July payment amount, the DO uses only Mrs. Pinot's own countable income of $130 ($150 worker's compensation minus the $20 general income exclusion). The deemed income from Mr. Pinot in the budget month (May) is not used in determining the payment amount for July. The payment amount for August is also determined using only Mrs. Pinot's own countable income in the budget month (June). Mrs. Pinot's SSI payment for July and August is $224.
