NOTE: Ensure that the Number Holder is removed from DRAMS, before attempting to resolve
an EM-14 (see: RM 10270.075 Resolving EM-14).
When DRAMS (Disability, Railroad, Alien and Military Service) is queried (see MSOM
QUERIES 005.003 ) on the record of a number holder (NH) reported as removed from the United States,
output will display the following data under the category “Alien Deportation Information”:
-
-
-
-
-
•
country to which the alien is removed;
-
-
•
final charge code;
(This is a two-position code (e.g. “02”, “2A”) reflecting the specific grounds as
determined by DHS under which a person was removed. See RS 02635.001D.1. EXCEPTIONS for codes that do not warrant suspension of the NH's retirement or disability benefits under the removal provisions.
NOTE: Aliens removed as inadmissible for illegal entry into the United States under section
212(a)(6)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act are designated by a final charge
code of “6A” on DRAMS. (See RS 02635.001B. and RS 02635.001C.)
-
•
DHS alien registration number (“A” number);
(This number can be used to access the alien's current immigration status via the
I-Main Web Based Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program. (See
MSOM INTRANET 002.001- MSOM INTRANET 002.018, RS 02635.020 and GN 00303.640.)
-
•
date the DHS removal notice was received by SSA.
(This date is important for establishing when RSDI benefits are to be suspended. See
RS 02635.001D.2. If no date is shown in this field, use the month after the month the Number Holder
was removed from the United States as the date the removal notice was received by
SSA. See MSOM QUERIES 005.003 for a facsimile of the DRAMS printout.
