Sec. 416.330  Filing before the first month you meet the requirements for eligibility.

    If you file an application for SSI benefits before the first month 
you meet all the other requirements for eligibility, the application 
will remain in effect from the date it is filed until we make a final 
determination on your application, unless there is a hearing decision on 
your application. If there is a hearing decision, your application will 
remain in effect until the hearing decision is issued.
    (a) If you meet all the requirements for eligibility while your 
application is in effect, the earliest month for which we can pay you 
benefits is the month following the month that you first meet all the 
requirements.
    (b) If you first meet all the requirements for eligibility after the 
period for which your application was in effect, you must file a new 
application for benefits. In this case, we can pay you benefits only 
from the first day of the month following the month that you meet all 
the requirements based on the new application.
