MISSISSIPPI [ NON - FINANCIAL CRITERIA: ENUMERATION]

Revised 08 - 01 - 06 validated). This validation code appears on the CLPR screen after the SSN. Entry of the validation code on CLPR is an automatic system process and cannot be entered by the worker even when the Social Security card is available for verification. If the individual's identifying data changes, the validation code resets to N and the process is repeated. Whenever there is a discrepancy, when MAVERICS alerts the worker to a problem, and/or upon receipt of the MAVERICS listing of individuals without a SSN, the county worker must take any necessary steps to resolve the situation. When application for a SSN was made through the enumeration at birth process, a MAVERICS/SSA automated match is not possible. The individual must provide the SSN to be entered in MAVERICS for validation. The validation process includes the following situations: 1. When the individual's SSN matches perfectly with SSA, MAVERICS will change the validation code from N to Y (validated). No further action is required unless the worker later receives information which makes this SSN invalid. NOTE: The SSN validation can occur as a result of the initial Wire Third Party Query process. See MAVERICS instructions for the WTPQ procedure for verifying income from SSA/SSI benefits. 2. When the individual's SSN, as provided, does not match with SSA, the validation code will remain N, and an IEVS SSN Validation Match alert will be created. The worker may be able to resolve the discrepancy or may need to contact the individual. Any discrepant information between MAVERICS and the SSA will generate a non-valid match. Names must match exactly in spelling, initials, etc. If the name and number match, but there is a discrepancy in date of birth or sex, the SSN will not be validated and the Validation Match alert will be generated. Therefore, care in entering correct information may prevent validation problems. 3. When the SSN has been applied for through the MDHS-EA-949, Referral for Social Security Number Application, and there is a perfect match with SSA, the SSN will be automatically entered on the MAVERICS records. If the individual is included in a TANF or food stamp case, the system will enter EN (enumeration) as the verification code on the SSDO screen. The validation code on CLPR will be changed from N to Y. The worker should review MAVERICS, document the case record with the number, and resolve any discrepancies.
