RM 05103.010 Processing Forms I-157 with SSN's
-
A.
Verify the SSN on each form by comparison with data from a Numident printout. Consider
the SSN to be correct if the information on the I-157 (Name, DOB and POB) meets the
requirements for verifying requests for original and duplicate SSN cards, “Screening for and verifying social security numbers.”
-
B.
Incorrect SSN Furnished
Encircle the SSN on the I-157 and write “WN” next to it. Associate the form with the forms which show no SSN and process them
in accordance with RM 05103.013.
-
C.
Correct SSN Furnished
Take the following actions for all I-157's for which the SSN on the form is verified
as correct.
-
1.
Transcribe any multiple SSN's onto the face of the I-157. Indicate the active and
inactive number.
-
2.
Underline in red the SSN and the portions of the name shown on the I-157 which agree
with the name on the Numident printout. If there is any difference in the surnames,
print in red directly above the printed name on the I-157 the name exactly as it appears
on the Numident printout and underline it. In the case of multiple accounts, underline
both active and inactive numbers.
-
3.
Complete a Form SSA-3972, I-157 Coding Sheet, for each I-157 completed in accordance
with 1. and 2. above as shown in RM 05103.019 of this subchapter.
