RM 00207: Pending Claim in the FO

Effective Dates: 05/15/2012 - Present

TN 4 (03-91)

Procedure

Get additional information to verify the SSN when identifying information on the application differs from information on the enumeration data base records.

Follow these steps to obtain identifying information:

STEP ACTION
1 Determine if the worker ever used different dates of birth or gave a different place of birth.
2 Request other name or variations of names (e.g., nicknames, other married surnames) used by the worker. Get information about the worker's alleged employment in the U.S. after 1936.
3 Request information the worker may have given on a previous application for an SSN (e.g., names of step or foster parents instead of natural parents).
4 If appropriate, obtain an SS-5 to update the NUMIDENT and if necessary issue an SSN card.
