Sec. 408.305  Why do you need to file an application to receive benefits?

    In addition to meeting other requirements, you must file an 
application to become entitled to SVB. If you believe you may be 
entitled to SVB, you should file an application. Filing an application 
will--
    (a) Permit us to make a formal decision on whether you qualify for 
SVB;
    (b) Assure that you receive SVB for any months you are entitled to 
receive payments; and
    (c) Give you the right to appeal if you are dissatisfied with our 
determination.
