An automated notification State sends the authorization information to SSA through
an electronic interface with the SSR. The State does not send the paper authorization
to SSA. The State electronic notification establishes that the State has a valid authorization,
the date the individual signed the authorization, and the date the State received
the authorization.
The State must notify SSA within 30 calendar days of the date the individual signed
the authorization using the electronic interface. The notification deadline is 30
calendar days from the date that the State matches the applicant’s record on the State’s
general assistance file with a pending SSI record. If the State does not meet this
deadline, the authorization is not binding on the individual and SSA will not reimburse
the State.
The eIAR system did not change the authorization process. Automated notification States
continue to be automated notification States.
