The State SSI Payment Unit will issue a supplemental payment. • Prepare a DHS-3050, Hearing Summary. The hearing summary must include the information that the specialist views on materials obtained from SSA. Example SDX or SOLQ. • Do not include a SOLQ within the hearing packet. Contact the State SSI Payment Unit at SSI-Bridges-Coord@michigan.gov for assistance if the SOLQ fails to explain the action taken. • Represent the department at the hearing. • If the hearing decision reverses the action taken by the department, issue a supplemental payment. Prepare for the hearing under the guidance of the SSI Payments Unit staff, as needed. SSI Payments Unit staff will not participate in the hearing but are available for consultation regarding: • Preparation of the hearing summary, and • Presentation of the case at hearing. If the SSI Payments Unit determines the disputed case action should be reversed, it will take all actions required. Inform MOAHR of the reversal in writing.
