PART 217_APPLICATION FOR ANNUITY OR LUMP SUM--Table of Contents

 

                     Subpart C_Filing An Application

 

Sec.  217.19  Representative of the claimant selected after application 

is filed.



    (a) Before benefits awarded. If the Board selects a representative 

for an incompetent claimant (see part 266 of this chapter) after an 

application is filed but before the benefit is awarded, a new benefit 

application must be filed by the representative. However, benefits will 

be paid using the filing date of the original benefit application.

    (b) After benefits awarded. If the Board selects a representative 

after a monthly annuity was awarded to another person, the 

representative must apply as a substitute payee on a form specifically 

designed for that purpose. A new annuity application is not required.
