If the representative payee reports a change of his or her own mailing address, we
also collect the payee and beneficiary(ies) residences address and verify whether
the payee has custody of the beneficiary(ies).
a. Payee is an individual
-
•
If Title II, input COA via eRPS (which is automatically sent to the MBR the night
following the change).
-
•
If Title XVI, you must first record the address change in eRPS and then go to MSSICS
and build the SSR. (eRPS does not send address changes to the SSR).
-
•
If entering a COA via a MACADE input, the PSC must make a separate input in eRPS to
update the Rep Payee database.
Exceptions:
-
•
When payee receives payment by check and reports a change in mailing address on the
cutoff date of the payment cycle, input the change in both POS and eRPS.
-
•
When payee’s mailing address is changing from domestic to foreign or foreign to domestic,
input the change in both POS and eRPS.

•
When a technician takes action for any undocumented alien parent payee without an
SSN, input the action through POS or MACADE.

all associated title II and title XVI records (records correctly established on the

Input the COA and custody for Title XVI via. MSSICS and eRPS. eRPS does not send custody
or beneficiary changes to the SSR, these changes must be reported in both eRPS and
MSSICS.

Input the COA for Title II cases via eRPS, which will ask specific residence and custody
questions.
-
