As part of SSA’s effort to reduce fraud, T2R sends a notice to the beneficiary or representative payee whenever an address is changed through the internet at “mySocialSecurity” or using the Telephone Interactive Voice Response System (IVR). The notice tells the beneficiary or representative payee to contact us if he or she didn’t change the address. We started sending out this notice in August 2014 as part of the Direct Deposit Fraud Program and added the option of changing the address via the telephone as part of the IVR Project in August 2020.

The Master Beneficiary Record (MBR) does not store both the beneficiary and representative payee’s addresses. Therefore, the T2R notice system only sends the notice to the old mailing address on the MBR, which may belong to a representative payee or beneficiary. The notice does not display a Social Security number, and we do not send a copy to attorneys.

The T2R notice system only produces complete notices for change of address confirmation, so no notices are completed through AURORA (manual notice system) or through any other manual process. If an incomplete notice generates, it will be removed from the file and written to an error log. The error log will be investigated by systems staff.

The Snippets used in the Change of Address notice generate in the following order:

NOTE: The type ‘Mandatory’ indicates that the Snippet must be included in every COA notice. The type ‘Conditional’ indicates that only one of the Snippets is selected based on the conditions of the particular situation, as in the case of the Referral Snippets. The type ‘Optional’ indicates that the Snippet is dependent on a particular condition, but is not a required condition or paragraph (e.g., the beneficiary has elected a particular Special Notice Option).
