What is the difference between replacement and reissuance from ACES system perspective?

NOTE: The difference between replacement and reissuance depends on what coding is used. A replacement or reissuance will always be mailed to the address in the ongoing month.

A replacement refers to replacing a lost, stolen or destroyed issuance. Replacements are issued exactly as the original issuance and will be mailed to the address in the ongoing month.

Reissuance is when an original issuance has been or will be canceled. Reissuances are issued based on the last eligibility information for the benefit month(s) covered in the reissuance, and will be mailed to the address in the ongoing month.
