Initial Asset Assessment MA Only Process the DHS-4574-B, Assets Declaration, for the initial asset assessment. The client must verify the value of the couple's assets. Notify the client and spouse of the initial asset assessment results; see BEM 402, Special MA Asset Rules. Case actions must be completed within the standard of promptness; see BAM 115. Required Actions When Closing FIP/RCA/SDA FIP, RCA and SDA Only When FIP, RCA or SDA closes due to ineligibility (other than death or inability to locate), the client might remain eligible for MA and/or FAP. Bridges automatically determines if MA eligibility exists under any other MA category before terminating MA and displays the results on the eligibility summary screen. Bridges will not cancel FAP benefits or shorten the FAP benefit period solely because FIP/RCA/SDA closes due to failure to coop- erate in the review process. Unless otherwise ineligible, FAP continues until the benefit period expires; see BAM 210. LEGAL BASE FIP P.A. 280 of 1939, as amended
