Query Regarding Termination of Dependency Payments (Case #89)
ACTION REQUIRED - REFERENCES
Action Required: See para 3.
1. AMTIKI-1 received a letter dated 19 September 1967 from a lawyer representing Miguelena Teurbe FRITZ requesting information as to why "payments to the specifically named beneficiaries in your policy if you have one, or those who would normally receive the proceeds of a death benefit if you do not have a policy" had been terminated.
2. A review of this case reveals the following:
a. Miguelena Teurbe FRITZ was advised by a letter dated 31 December 1966 that it had been ascertained that she was not entitled to monthly payments as the widow of Roberto PEREZ Cruzata since she had never married PEREZ. The letter also advised that payments heretofore sent to Mrs. FRITZ for her daughter and the parents of PEREZ were likewise being terminated because it had been learned that her daughter, Kathleen FRITZ, is not related to PEREZ in any manner, that the mother had died, and that there is no evidence that the father in Cuba had received any of the funds intended for him.
b. Shortly thereafter, Mrs. FRITZ requested that the matter be reconsidered since she had not been given advance notice of the termination and because the abrupt halt in payments created a severe economic hardship for her.
c. She was then advised by letter that the payment enclosed with the termination notice was for January 1967 and was intended to provide a one-month notice of the payment termination.
