| PublicationDate: 8/15/96 Summary: Records reprocessed: Pacific Island Applicants rejected by Social Security Match Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) August 15, 1996 Re: Records reprocessed: Pacific Island Applicants rejected by Social Security Match Applicants from the Pacific Islands who do not have social security numbers are assigned social security numbers beginning with 888. To prevent these applicants from receiving a reject S (SSN not on Social Security Administration's database), the CPS was modified on 8/15/96 to not send these records to match with the Social Security database. New records (apps, renewal apps, corrections, duplicate requests) processed on and after 8/15/96 with a social security number starting with 888 will not receive this reject. On 8/23/96, CPS reprocessed the most recent transaction of each Pacific Island applicant with an 888 social security number and who still has a reject S. There are about 850 affected records. Therefore, your destination point may not receive any reprocessed records. To identify these reprocessed ISIRs, look at the following fields in your SARA97OP batch: Field #2, First three digits of SSN = 888 Field #202, System Generated Indicator (position 896) = Z Field #205, Batch Number (position 906-922) = #Y000000082396705 Contact CPS Customer Service at 800-330-5947, option 8 or via the Internet at CPS@NCS.COM if you have any questions. |
