From Emergency Message EM-19032:
This emergency message (EM) provides instructions on how to handle inquiries from a one-time notice that was sent to correctional and mental health reporters and facilities.
On October 25, 2019, SSA mailed a one-time notice to participating correctional and mental health reporters and facilities to inform them of a change to Title XVI incentive payments. This letter is a follow-up and reminder sent to the original notice we previously sent to correctional and mental health reporters on July 2, 2018. ...
The new Title XVI incentive payment rules provide the following:
For every Title XVI recipient we suspend due to the inmate information provided, we will pay the institution:
· $400 for information received within 15 days of the confinement; or
· $200 for information received after 15 days but within 90 days after confinement. ...

What about getting accurate information about conviction dates, the specifics of the conviction (probation violation,misdemeanor or felony) as opposed to just confinement dates? This can make a big difference in disabled adult child cases especially. I've never been able to get information from anyone at SSA on whether they ever get that information. It seems that sometimes they just look at the incarceration and that's it. This is especially bad for a lot of the mentally ill when the jails and prisons are really their hospitals.
