FIP Give the group timely notice before starting restricted payments. Calculate the pended begin date for third-party payments. SDA In SDA, restricted payments are not negative actions. Therefore, give the group adequate notice. Reviews FIP and SDA Review restricted payment status when appropriate but at least at every determination. Schedule the review with other case reviews when possible. The client, however, has the right to request and be granted a review of the restricted payment status every six months. Review the status immediately if vendoring must stop because the property reverted to the State of Michigan; see Vendoring in Restricted Cases in this item. For money mismanagement cases, examine the progress of the protective payee and/or client in managing the group's money. For third-party resource disqualifications, examine the payee's money management ability and the client's willingness to cooperate in identifying a third-party resource. See the DISQUALIFICATION section in BEM 257. In minor parent cases, examine how the supervising adult has man- aged the benefit payments. Resuming Restricted Payments FIP and SDA Restricted payments stop automatically at closure and due to certain coding changes. When reinstating a case or processing such a coding change, resume restricted payments. The following factors apply: • A new money mismanagement evaluation is not required. • Reflect the current living situation in the budget.
