Use the charts below to find and interpret information on the SOLQI or WTPY needed to determine the Pickle disregard:
NOTE If the customer last received SSI Cash over a year ago, there may be no Title XVI information on the WTPY or SOLQI. In this case, check the RP145 screen in PMMIS for SSI-Cash-related eligibility in the past.

Title XVI Payment Status Key:
The date the SSI-Cash payment stopped may be different than the end date listed on SOLQI or WTPY. Use the following table to determine the actual date payment ended:
|
If the Payment Status Code is… |
Then… |
|
N01 |
The payment stopped 1 month before the end date listed on SOLQI or WTPY |
|
T31 |
The payment stopped 1 year and 1 month before the end date listed on SOLQI or WTPY |
|
E01 |
The payment stopped the same month as the end date listed on SOLQI or WTPY |
Example:
The SOLQI or WTPY shows a Title XVI payment end date of 09/01/2010.
If the payment status code is N01, then the actual end date was 8/01/2010.
If the payment status code is T31, then the actual end date was 8/01/2009.
If the payment status code is E01, then the actual end date was 9/01/2010.
Using the information from the SOLQI or WTPY, take the following steps to calculate the Pickle disregard
|
Step |
Action |
|
1 |
Get the date Title II income began |
|
2 |
Get the Title XVI payment status code and the end date. Use the Title XVI Payment Status Key table above to determine the Actual Payment End Date |
|
3 |
Does the SSI-Cash end date from Step 2 or PMMIS overlap with the Title II start date from Step 1 for at least one month after April 1977?
NOTE If you cannot determine whether both SSI Cash and Title II income were received for at least one month, submit a Policy Clarification Request with the customer’s full name, SSN, DOB, and PID. Ask for an "SSA concurrency verification" in the body of the PCR. |
|
4 |
Ensure the customer’s current gross Title II payment amount is keyed in HEAplus. NOTE If the gross amount in the SOLQI or WTPY includes cents, round the amount down to the nearest whole dollar. |
|
5 |
In the SSI-MAO Screening Guide in HEAplus, enter the last date the customer received both SSI-Cash and Title II and select “Next”. HEAplus will automatically calculate and apply the Pickle disregard in the FBR income calculation. |
To manually calculate the Pickle disregard amount, find the period that includes the actual payment end date in the “SSI Cash End Period” column of the following table. Multiply the gross Title II amount by the Pickle Disregard Multiplier in that row. Use the multiplier amount for the year in which the application month falls.
