Task 2: Allow overnight processing in CARES before proceeding onto Step 2. Step 2: Verify SSN CMs who have access to SOLQ must verify the SSN with SOLQ (Verify Title II SSA income and Title XVI SSI income with the SSN verification) If SOLQ verified the SSN, print the verification response for the record. If SOLQ was not able to verify the SSN, you will receive one of the codes shown in the July 2001 SVES/SOLQ MANUAL Section 2, pages II-11 and

II-12 (FIPNet). The SSN must be verified prior to requesting citizenship verification and

moving to Step 3.

CMs who do not have access to SOLQ must verify the SSN with SVES (Verify Title II SSA income and Title XVI SSI income with the SSN verification) Task 1: Use the SVES PF1 request and complete all the appropriate fields to verify the SSN. This request will need to process overnight. Task 2: Once the 24 hour SVES SSN verification has taken place, use PF2 to verify the SSN response. Task 3: If SVES verified the SSN, print all verification response screens for the case record. If SVES was not able to verify the SSN, you will receive one of the codes shown in the July 2001 SVES/SOLQ MANUAL Section 2, pages II-11 and II-12 (FIPNet). Obtain SSN verification from client; once obtained, verify the SSN through SVES. Task 4: The SSN must be verified prior to requesting citizenship verification. As soon as SVES verifies the SSN and the record is printed, use PF4 to delete the PF2 request. Proceed to Step 3. Note: If not deleted, the PF2 request creates a viewing screen but locks the SSN information which will cause Step 4 citizenship verification processing to take 10 days.

Step 3: Determine Eligibility As soon as a new MA or MCHP applicant is determined eligible, the CM must allow the applicant a reasonable opportunity (45 days) to produce documentary evidence of citizenship. During this
