ways:
1. Obtain an SSA printout, from the applicant, showing the
medical re-exam date.

applicant or SSA office, then proceed to prepare a partial DAPD
packet as indicated below.
• Prepare and send a partial (limited) DAPD packet. The packet
consists of just the MC 221 with the following remark in item #10
“7-Year Refugee CAPI case – SSI was discontinued as of

and clearly document immigrant's status and reason for
termination. CAPI issued on these cases is not considered
an overpayment.
