FBCP Claim of Sexual Assault or Incest
 
(01/01/22 - 12/31/22)
A child born during a mother or father's Family Benefit Cap Period (FBCP) is exempt from the FBCP policy and may be eligible for CA when the child was conceived as a result of a sexual assault or due to incest.
 
NOTE The exemption for a child born as a result of sexual assault or incest does not apply to an adopted child.
 
The parent or nonparent caretaker relative (NPCR) must complete the Claim of Sexual Assault (FAA‑0260A) form indicating the child was born as a result of the assault or incest.
 
In addition to the participant's written statement on the FAA-0260A, when other documents are available that verify the claim, the participant must present them as verification. This includes, and is not limited to, the following:
 
●Medical records
●Law enforcement records
●Birth certificate or Bureau of Vital Statistics Records
●Other records that help verify the claim
 
NOTE When the participant is unable to provide evidence to support the claim of sexual assault or incest, accept the participant's written statement on the completed FAA-0260A.
 
Accept the FAA-0260A along with any documents provided. Forward the FAA-0260A and other documentation to the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) for potential investigation. Continue to process the case as no response is required from OSI.
 
OSI completes any action that they determine to be necessary.
