2131 Verification of SSN
The Social Security number(s) reported by the client shall be verified by an automated match with the Social Security Administration Through the Federal Hub. Determine if SSNs are verified, by using the F10 (pop-up) function on the EATSS system, explained in the KAECSES AE user Manual. In addition, either BENDEX or SDX will provide a verified SSN for those individuals receiving either SSA or SSI benefits.
Official document containing the SSN. Often, a SSN may be unverified due to a name or date of birth difference between our records and those owned by SSA.
If the individual's SSN has not been verified as described in item (1) and they have no Social Security card or other official document containing the SSN an application for a replacement Social Security card must be requested. The person should be referred to the appropriate SSA office. Refer to 2136 . Proof from SSA that the individual has applied for the replacement Social Security card shall meet the SSN verification provision pending receipt of further documentation.
When a copy of the individual’s Social Security card has been provided, it shall be maintained in the case file indefinitely. If applicable, a copy of the SSN-1 or any Enumeration at Birth documents should be included.
A verified SSN shall be re-verified only if the identity of the individual or the SSN becomes questionable.
