SDX lists all persons receiving SSI benefits and will have the latest benefit information for each SSI recipient. Since information is accessible on individuals who are not on any of Indiana's assistance programs confidentiality guidelines (see IHCPPM 1425.00.00) must be strictly followed. Refer to IHCPPM 2835.35 for discussion on inclusion or exclusion of SSI income. 2890.10.15 VERIFICATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME The Social Security Administration rounds down the entitlement amount to the nearest whole dollar. The amount of all Social Security checks (with a few rare exceptions) are in whole dollars. When verifying Social Security benefits, the "unrounded gross benefit amount" and the "net payment amount" (Medicare Part B is withheld) are required. The "gross payment amount" is the unrounded amount with the cents dropped and is the amount of the benefit check for an individual who does not have the Medicare Part B deducted. Sources of verification of Social Security include: • The un-cashed benefit check (by itself) if: o The individual does not have Medicare Part B coverage; or o The individual is on Buy-In. • Form SSA-1610 - request verification of the "unrounded gross benefit amount" and the "net payment amount"
