Living in the Same Household and the Lump-Sum Death Payment

We are revising our rules on ``living in the same household'' (LISH) and the lump-sum death payment (LSDP) to bring them into accord with legislation that restricted the payment of the LSDP. This revision includes the removal from our regulations of several outdated sections and paragraphs. We also are incorporating into our rules the policy established previously in a Social Security Ruling (SSR) that interpreted the definition of LISH to allow for extended separations that are based solely on medical reasons.
