When the DB has been established for SSA purposes in a prior claim, specific proof of age codes must be used in connection with the current claim.
The correct code to use depends on the code shown on the SSA record.
B. List of Codes Based on MBR
The following list shows codes on the MBR which are used to determine the correct proof of age code to use in a current claim. See MSOM MCS 005.009 for an explanation of the codes.
DB Code on MBR | Code For Current Claim |
---|---|
“B” | “B” |
“C” | “C” |
“P” | “F” |
“Q” | “Q” - code for title II claims |
“F” - code for title XVI claims | |
“F” | “F” |
No code—type of benefit required age be established | “F” |
C. List of Codes Based on Numident
The following list shows codes on the Numident which are used to determine the correct proof of age code to use in a current claim. See RM 10235.005 for an explanation of the codes.
IDN Code on Numident | Code For Current Claim |
---|---|
“B” | “B” |
“P” | “B” |
Any Other Codes | Full development required. |
D. List of Codes Based on SSR
The following list shows codes on the SSR which are used to determine the correct proof of age code to use in a current claim. (See SM 01601.475C. for an explanation of the codes.)
DB Code on SSR | Code For Current Claim |
---|---|
“B” |
“B” |
“C” |
“C” |
“Q” |
Request claimant to resubmit evidence of age; full development required. |
“F” |
