SSA resends the benefit payment to the customer's account, which is still flagged. SSA receives the returned benefit and reprocesses the death termination. Always remember to remove any systems flag when a report of death proves to be an error. Please be aware that SSA will work closely with FIs to provide any documentation necessary to verify continuing eligibility when erroneous reports of death are received. SSA will also work in conjunction with the Department of the Treasury to place reminders such as this one in Treasury's upcoming revision of the Green Book for ease of reference.
Plans are to make the Green Book available on the Web , on compact disk, and in print.
Once published, Federal Reserve banks, ACH Associations, and Treasury's Customer Assistance Staffs will distribute it to all of their customers.
