Check to be sure that the individual requesting reinstatement of benefits is the SSA
beneficiary we previously suspended because of incarceration at a BOP correctional
facility. (Ask the individual to provide other forms of identification that can validate
their identity; e.g., driver's license, work identification card, passport, voter's
registration card, etc.) If the individual does not have any valid documents to corroborate
their identity, ask the individual about information that SSA has in its records that
will help establish the individual's identity.
For example, you can use information from the NUMIDENT and ask the individual the
following questions:
-
•
What is your parent's maiden name?
-
-
•
What is your place of birth and year of birth?
Once you have verified the released inmate's identity, continue verifying the proof
of release as indicated in GN 02607.794D.1.b.
