Screen Shots for SSI claim system Institution Residence Page
When continued payments are payable for temporary institutionalization (TI), SSA must receive the physician's
certification and home expenses statement by the recipient’s discharge date or 90 days from admission date
(whichever is earlier). The SSA claims specialist confirms that the recipient and physician provided this
required information by inputting the receipt dates in the SSI Claims System screens below.
SSA does not use these screens as a collection instrument. Rather, SSA uses these screens to tell the SSI
Claims System that the claims specialist obtained the necessary documentation to determine that the SSI
recipient is eligible for temporary institutionalization benefits. If we do not complete these fields, the system
will not pay the temporary institutionalization (TI) benefits to the recipient. These fields serve as a safeguard to
prevent the issuance of incorrect payments to a recipient who does not meet the requirements to receive TI
benefits.
