Title XVI: SSI Treatment of Department of Veterans Affairs Payments to Fiduciaries
Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
In accordance with 20 CFR 422.406(b)(1), the Commissioner of Social Security gives notice of Social Security Ruling 94-5p. This Ruling explains the continued longstanding policy that payments made by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to an individual who acts as a fiduciary for another are not income or resources to the fiduciary for the purpose of determining his or her eligibility for or amount of benefits under the supplemental security income (SSI) program. The Commissioner also gives notice that this Ruling supersedes SSR 82-31. SSR 82-31 (C.E. 1981-1985, p. 777) contained policy in addition to that concerning VA payments to fiduciaries, regarding the treatment of veterans benefits made to SSI claimants where VA augments the benefits because the recipient has dependents. The policy on the treatment of VA augmented benefits is no longer applicable because of regulations promulgated on this date.
