    You are eligible for SSI benefits if you meet all the basic 
requirements listed in Sec. 416.202. However, the first month for which 
you may receive SSI benefits is the month after the month in which you 
meet these eligibility requirements. (See Sec. 416.501.) You must give 
us any information we request and show us necessary documents or other 
evidence to prove that you meet these requirements. We determine your 
eligibility for each month on the basis of your countable income in that 
month. You continue to be eligible unless you lose your eligibility 
because you no longer meet the basic requirements or because of one of 
the reasons given in Secs. 416.210 through 416.216.
