SSS – Benefit Processing

Interruption of Processing

Interruption of processing occurs when SSS temporarily stops evaluating a claim due to issues such as incomplete documents, conflicting records, employer non-compliance, or pending corrections. This interruption prevents the claim from progressing to evaluation or approval stages.

Members receive notices explaining the reason for the delay, such as unclear medical documents, mismatched PSA records, or missing employer submissions. Claims remain inactive until the required documents or corrections are submitted.

Prompt response to notices helps resume processing quickly. Ignoring interruptions can lead to prolonged delays or benefit denial.
