3-001.07E Verification of Social Security Numbers

475 NAC 3-001.07E

SSNs for all household members are verified through the interface in the automated system.

 

When the Social Security Administration (SSA) returns an SSN as unverified, the worker must:

  1. Recontact the household in writing informing the household of information received;
  2. Request that the household respond with the appropriate information within 10 days;
    1. If the household fails to respond within 10 days and provide information that resolves the discrepancy, send a notice of adverse action to disqualify the individual with the unverified SSN;
    2. The individual is treated as an ineligible household member; or
    3. If the household responds within 10 days and provides the information needed to resolve the discrepancy, resubmit the updated information to SSA.
  3. If the household contacts SSA and cooperates with SSA to resolve the discrepancy, the household is eligible to participate in the program until SSA completes its review.
