(a) Before we determine and certify payment. If we are informed by the Veterans Administration that a pension or compensation is payable to you before we determine and certify payment of benefits based on deemed insured status, we compute your monthly benefit or lump-sum death payment based on the death of the World War II veteran without using the wage credits discussed in § 404.1350.
(b) After we determine and certify payment. If we are informed by the Veterans Administration that a pension or compensation is payable to you after we determine and certify payment of benefits based on deemed insured status, we -
(1) Stop payment of your benefits or recompute the amount of any further benefits that can be paid to you; and
(2) Determine whether you were erroneously paid and the amount of any erroneous payment.
