When you cannot process an application for an SSN using SSNAP and you forward a paper
Form SS-5 (Application for a Social Security Card) to the Office of Central Operations
(OCO) for processing, annotate the evidence submitted block to show the following,
when applicable:
-
•
The type of document(s) used to support application for SSN (including documents for
a person applying on behalf of another person);
-
•
The reason a non-work number is requested to support the “Y” entry in the NWR block;
-
•
The reason a new (different) SSN is assigned to support the DNR block (e.g., harassment/abuse,
SSN misuse/disadvantage; religious objection to certain digits; scrambled earnings);
-
•
The I-Main SAVE verification number used to verify Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) issued documents proving lawful alien or citizenship status;
-
•
The document type and alien registration number used to verify asylee status via the
Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) case status line or refugee status via
the Department of State, Worldwide Refugee Admission Processing System (WRAPS) fax;
-
•
The reason why an individual, age 12 or over, applying for an original SSN never had
an SSN before;
-
•
New evidence received after developing and clearing an “investigate” message, or when
a “suspect” document is verified by the issuing agency;
-
•
The reason why a replacement card beyond the yearly or lifetime limit is issued to
an SSN replacement card applicant; and
-
•
Whether the applicant returned an SSN card.
REMINDER: Evidence/annotations entered must support coding in the ITV, PBC, EVI, EVA, EVC, PRA,
NWR, and DNR blocks, or document why a replacement SSN card beyond the yearly or lifetime
limits was issued to the applicant. Other annotations/comments are not appropriate.
