PRS.CRVS.03: Ceasing allowance upon death notification

Context: Use Case (Social Protection and Systems involved)

Cease benefits upon receiving notification of the beneficiary's death" entails the suspension or cessation of benefits upon the SP-MIS receiving official notification or information regarding the beneficiary's passing. In essence, once confirmation of the beneficiary's demise is received by SP-MIS, the regular disbursement of the allowance is to be immediately halted or stopped as per the adjudication.

The proactive workflow for SP services depends on the specific nature of the service provided. In the case of a universal service offered by the SP program, the current workflow entails pushing all necessary information from death registration in CRVS to SP-MIS. However, if the SP service is targeted for specific categories, the data handling may need to be managed at the SP level. In such cases, SP may use more specific search criteria to extract relevant data from the CRVS system.
