BENDEX is a centralized computer process available to States under written agreements with us. BENDEX can verify or provide Title II information about payment status, benefit amounts, entitlement and termination dates, health insurance data, and other information relevant to eligibility for State assistance programs. For a full description of the BENDEX system, see SM 10801.000.

BEER is a subset within the BENDEX system. It provides tax return information (employer data for the last calendar year) to those entities authorized to receive tax return information. For information on the disclosure of tax return information, see GN 03314.002 and GN 03320.015.

SDX is an automated system available to States under written agreements with us. SDX provides Title XVI data maintained in the Supplemental Security Income Record, which includes Title XVI eligibility, benefit, and demographic data, as well as Title VIII Special Veterans Benefits.

SVES is an overnight batch system that provides Social Security Number (SSN) verification, Title II benefit information, and Title XVI information to State agencies through a uniform data response based on authorized user-initiated queries. In support of our data minimization policy, there are four types of SVES responses:

SOLQ and SOLQ-I are real-time online systems that provide SSN verification, Title II, and Title XVI benefit data to State agencies that are approved use of this system for the administration of certain health-maintenance and income-maintenance programs. The data provided via real-time is similar to the data provided through SVES IV. SOLQ is an online exchange (typically with the States in a mainframe), while SOLQ-I is a web-based application.

NOTE: SOLQ and SOLQ-I also provide strictly SSN verification and citizenship data (similar to SVES I/Citizenship) via SOLQ/Citizenship and SOLQ-I/Citizenship. Consult the regional office DEC or PAC for information on the permissible use of citizenship data.

UIQ is an online system that provides SSN verification to State agencies that administer the unemployment insurance (UI) program. We may also disclose Title II information to State agencies that administer UI programs. However, Title II data is typically restricted to only those State agencies that offset UI benefits by the receipt of Title II benefits. UIQ transactions are transmitted through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Interstate Connection Network (ICON) Hub. There are two types of UIQ responses:

LIS is a batch system that provides data from the LIS Application for Medicare Part D beneficiaries to State agencies approved use of this system for the administration of Medicare Savings Program.

Medicare 1144 is a batch system that provides information to State agencies that are approved use of this system for the administration of the Medicare 1144 (Outreach) program. This system provides a list of individuals on our rolls who may be eligible for medical assistance for the following:

• •

  payment of the Medicare cost-sharing under the Medicaid program pursuant to Sections 1902(a)(10)(E) and 1933 of the Social Security Act (Act);

• •

  transitional assistance under Section 1860D-31(f) of the Act; or

• •

  premiums and cost-sharing subsidies for low income individuals under Section 1860D-14 of the Act.

PUPS is an overnight batch system that provides confinement data we receive from over 2000 State and local institutions, such as jails, prisons, or other penal institutions or correctional facilities. PUPS matches the data we receive with the data on the Master Beneficiary Record and the Supplemental Security Income Record and subsequently generates alerts for review/action.

QC is an application triggered via SVES that provides qualifying quarters of coverage data (the minimum and maximum number of QCs a number holder has on our records), as well as railroad service months, and the pattern of the qualifying QCs. This overnight batch information is available to State agencies approved use of this data for the administration of health maintenance and income maintenance programs.

Through a Batch system, we provide overnight SSN verification to State agencies that are approved use of this system. Our SSN verification routines vary in how the SSN verification searches are conducted, tolerances used in those searches, and in what information is returned to the users.

HAVV is the verification system that provides verification of the last four digits of the SSN to State agencies responsible for voter registration administration. State agencies should only utilize this system when the new voter registrant does not have a valid driver’s license. We provide HAVV to the States through the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrator’s (AAMVA) AAMVAnet network.

SSOLV is a real-time system that provides SSN verification to State Motor Vehicle Administrations and State agencies charged with administration of drivers’ licenses and identification cards. AAMVA’s AAMVAnet network acts as the conduit through which authorized State agencies receive SSOLV.
