Note: The Railroad Retirement Claim numbers displayed on the Bendex (BDE) and Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) interfaces are not true claim numbers. The BDE and CMS interfaces convert the claim number for their files and don’t use the same conversion method. The true claim number must be entered on N-FOCUS as it passes to the MMIS (c1) system and is used for claims.
