For title II cases, if eWork did not update the earnings determination to the DCF,
the FO must update the earnings information on the DCF manually by accessing the verify/update
earnings (VERN) screen. (See DI 55030.045.)
A manual update is required in rare cases where eWork cannot push to the DCF (Push
failures), or the Ticketholder is in TWP month 8 or month 9. If a title II only beneficiary
has not completed the TWP, record the TWP determination on the DCF. Please use the
charts below to update the VERN screen:
WORK DET X
This is the type of earnings represented for the month.
You must enter 1 - 9, E, I, N, O, S, U, W or X.

Make an entry in the WORK DET field of the VERN screen in all cases (i.e., enter a
month “1” through “9” if earnings are at TWP level or enter an “ O,” for other, if
earnings are below TWP. You cannot enter an “N” until the TWP is over. If you enter
an “N” before the TWP is over, you will get a surface edit that says “TWP N/E.” You
must enter “O” if the amount is below the TWP minimum. “E” is used in rolling TWP
cases where the TWP month has expired. If the case is a DCF “push fail,” then the
FO may need to manually update the VERN. (See DI 55030.045.)
