Sec.  219.3  When evidence is required.

    (a) To prove initial eligibility. The Board will ask for evidence to 
prove a claimant is eligible for benefits when he or she applies for 
benefits. Usually the Board will ask the claimant to furnish specific 
kinds of evidence or information by a certain date to prove initial 
eligibility for benefits. If evidence or information is not received by 
that date, the Board may decide that the claimant is not eligible for 
benefits and will deny his or her application.
    (b) To prove continued entitlement. After a claimant establishes 
entitlement to an annuity, the Board may ask that annuitant to produce 
by a certain date information or evidence needed to decide whether he or 
she may continue to receive an annuity or whether the annuity should be 
reduced or stopped. If the information is not received by the date 
specified, the Board may decide that the person is no longer entitled to 
benefits or that his or her annuity should be stopped or reduced.
