In addition to meeting other requirements, you must file an application to become entitled to SVB. If you believe you may be entitled to SVB, you should file an application. Filing an application will—
(a) Permit us to make a formal decision on whether you qualify for SVB;
(b) Assure that you receive SVB for any months you are entitled to receive payments; and
(c) Give you the right to appeal if you are dissatisfied with our determination.
