NDVerify interfaces with the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the search results display under ‘Other Benefit Information’. The search results will provide verification of Social Security/Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, Medicare/Buy-in information and Social Security Number verification for individuals in the household for whom the search was initiated, regardless of age. If the search finds a cross-reference claim number, the cross-reference information will also display.

Note: Most cross-reference claim numbers are the same as the SSN with a Beneficiary Identification Code (BIC) letter of ‘A’ which means the client is receiving the benefit under their own SSN. In this instance the benefit amount displays the same under both the SSN and cross-reference claim number.

If the cross reference claim number is different than the SSN, it will have a BIC number other than ‘A.’

• If the benefit amount is different under the cross-reference claim number, then ‘Payment Status’ under the cross-reference claim number will display ‘Amount is included in 'CP' record’. Use only the amount displaying under the SSN.
• If the benefit amount is the same under both the SSN and the cross reference claim number, then the client is receiving only one amount under the cross-reference claim number’s SSN rather than their own SSN.

Social Security BIC code definitions can be found on the County Intranet in the NDVerify folder under Economic Assistance-Health Care Coverage.

If the results are inconsistent with what the household has provided, the household needs to be referred to the Social Security Administration. Workers will need to inform the applicant or recipient that the benefits could not be verified and that the individual needs to contact the Social Security Administration to obtain current verification.

 

Data received as a result of this search is owned by the Social Security Administration. This information:

• CAN be released to the applicant, recipient or authorized representative with a signed release.
• CANNOT be released (given, mailed or e-mailed) to any agency or other individual in or out-of-state.
