When a ticket holder assigns their ticket, the Employment Network (EN) must obtain
verification of the beneficiary’s work activity, and provide this verification to
the PM.
The PM evaluates and certifies reported earnings (using our approved guidelines),
and electronically records the evidence of earnings into Shared Process on the SSA
Main Menu.
The PM also records alleged earnings on the verify earnings (VERN) screen in the disability
control file (DCF). The field office (FO) evaluates reported earnings from a PM as
a third-party report. When developing these cases, follow instructions found in DI 55030.001 Overview of Earnings Verification in Ticket Cases and DI 55005.005B SSA Component Responsibilities with Regard to the PM.
