In August 2024, the technician initiates an LI for an EE diary. The SSI record also shows an S2 diary and a K6 diary. The technician develops the wages covered by the K6, S2, and the EE to close the LI as follows:
Facts:
•
On the PDP Pending Wage page, the technician notes the EE diary was due to Incorporated, Inc, attempting to post wages for July 2024 in August 2024.
•
The only Wages page in the SSI Claims system shows alleged wages in November 2023 for “Incorporated” with a continuing estimate but no EIN.
•
The DEQY and OCSS queries reveal undeveloped wages from a temporary staffing service back to the 4th quarter of 2023 with higher wage amounts than the Wages page indicates.
•
The NDNH query shows a hire date for two employers during this period—the temporary staffing service on 11/10/2023 and Incorporated, Inc on 7/10/2024.
Development:
The technician contacts the claimant to develop the wages. The claimant states that they went to work in November 2023 at Incorporated, Inc and reported it to SSA when it happened. Through this conversation, the technician determines the claimant was hired and paid through a Temporary Staffing service between 11/2023 and 7/2024. Even though the assigned worksite was Incorporated, the temporary staffing company was the claimant’s employer up until the second week of July 2024. The EE diary was created when the claimant was hired on permanently by Incorporated, Inc, an employer participating with a PDP, and the PDP transmitted earnings for July 2024 to SSA for the first time during the August 2024 run.
The technician takes the opportunity to discuss the PDP exchange and reporting requirements, and ascertains that the claimant doesn’t have deductions or exclusions, like IRWEs or cafeteria plans, that would apply to the gross wages.
The technician obtains pay stubs for the temporary service and posts verified earnings from November 2023 to the final pay stub in July 2024 on the existing wages page using the SSI Monthly Wage Verification system, correcting the employer information to show the temp service as the employer. These actions are sufficient to clear the K6 and S2 diary. To clear the EE diary, the technician selects the ‘Add” option to create a new Wages page from the PDP Pending Wage page for Incorporated, Inc and closes out the pending page.
