Advising client once benefit has been suspended

Once the benefit has been suspended, because the warrant to arrest states that the client is a risk to public safety, Central Services will send a letter to the client advising them:

• that their benefit has been suspended
• that it has been suspended because of the warrant for their arrest
• the specific actions that they need to take if they dispute they are the person to whom the warrant applies
• the specific actions they need to take to resolve the warrant

A special caution will be displayed in CMS when the client's record is opened. It will also show in the SSTAI screen as Warrant to Arrest.
