GN 02406: Failure to Receive a Check/Payment - Title II, Title XVI

TN 43 (12-17)

When a person alleges non-receipt of a dual entitlement paper check, verify the acceptable reporter (e.g. beneficiary) of non-receipt through the interview and screening process.

If the beneficiary alleges dire need, process the non-receipt using the immediate payment criteria.

For more information on verifying reporters and dire need, see

If the allegation does not meet the dire need criteria, take appropriate steps to process the non-receipt per GN 02406.000.
