Public Assistance Department Information Request When unable to reconcile discrepant information, send the DHS- 3471, DHS/SSA Referral, to the SSA district office serving your area. Limit its use to situations in which written and/or automated information sources differ on client benefits. For example: • To resolve a conflict between BENDEX and SDX or data and other evidence. • To obtain retroactive and/or historical data unavailable via BENDEX or SDX. • To refer a person potentially eligible for an SSA program. • To determine the status of a claim pending with SSA. STATE DATA EXCHANGE (SDX) All Programs The Social Security Administration provides daily SDX data on Michigan's SSI applications, denials, openings, reopenings, clo- sures, addresses and other changes. Central office uses this infor- mation to open and update MA program code A, B and E cases on Bridges. The Social Security Administration provides monthly SDX payroll data on SSI recipients living in Michigan. Central office uses this data to update the state SSI payment file which is used to issue state SSI payment warrants. ENUMERATION MATCH All Programs The ongoing effort to assign Social Security numbers is monitored by the Enumeration Verification System which validates Social Security account numbers entered on Bridges against SSA data.
