The primary verification for Social Security benefits (SSDI or SSI) will be the established Beneficiary Data Exchange (BENDEX) or State Data Exchange (SDX) systems. When circumstances warrant, contact with the Social Security District Office to obtain benefit information may be necessary.

 

In regard to benefits other than Social Security, (e.g. Unemployment Compensation, Workmen’s Compensation, Veteran's Pension, child support, etc.), inquiry should be made with the agency responsible for payment of the benefit. Veteran’s benefits should be verified through the Veteran’s Administration for appropriate cases.
