Enhanced Deduction for Seniors with SSN that is not authorized for work - how to suppress?

One of the requirements for the new enhanced deductions for seniors on sch 1-A is that the filer must have a work-authorized SSN.

Lacerte is incorrectly allowing the deduction for 1040-NR filers with work restricted SSNs (not ITIN) and there's no way to suppress it. 

Even checking the box on screen 38 "Taxpayer (or spouse if MFJ) SSN is not valid for work or EIC purposes" doesn't work, and the deduction still comes through.

When will Lacerte fix this?
