As a condition of eligibility, the Administration or its
designee must require applicants, and members to do the following:
1.
Take all
necessary steps to obtain any annuities, pensions, retirement, disability
benefits to which they are entitled, unless they can show good cause for not
doing so.

submitted application of SSN. The Administration or its designee will assist in
obtaining or verifying the applicant's SSN under 42 CFR 435.910 if an applicant
cannot recall the applicant's SSN or has not been issued a SSN. An applicant is
not required to furnish an SSN if the applicant is not able to legally obtain a
SSN. The Administration or its designee shall determine eligibility
notwithstanding the applicant's lack of a SSN, if the applicant is cooperating
with the Administration or its designee to obtain a SSN and obtain a SSN prior
to the next scheduled review of eligibility.
