RS 01405.090 Listing Code *374 (Earnings Record (ER) Discrepancy/Adjustment)

A. Procedure for using listing code *374

When SSA authorizes an earnings adjustment (including any for military service) or if SSA is still processing the posting of earnings, an SSA employee lists cases involved in the Processing Center Action Control System (PCACS) under listing code *374. See RS 01405.005.

NOTE: Use listing code *374 for temporary and ongoing earnings inaccuracies and remove the code after resolving all earnings issues (see subsection C).

B. When to use listing code *374

1. Adjustments involved

When the Suspense Reinstate Daily Batch Adjustment and Reinstate System (SRDBAR) rejects an item correction (ICOR) adjustment and requires correction, an SSA employee:

  • •

    Lists cases that require correction in the PCACS under listing code *374; and

  • •

    Posts a special message to the beneficiary's Master Beneficiary Record (MBR) explaining the earnings discrepancy.

See Instructions:

  • •

    MS 01520.003, SRDBAR Help (EBAR)

  • •

    MS 01530.001, Item Correction Adjustment Rejects - Overview

  • •

    GN 01040.100, Listing Codes

  • •

    MS 04905.010, Listing Code (LIST)

NOTE: List cases in PCACS under listing code *374 for beneficiaries with a history of inaccurate earnings postings (ex: ID theft cases, ongoing issues with disclaimed wages or SEI, both SEI and railroad compensation, individuals who are institutionalized, etc.). See SM 04610.013 and RS 01804.030.

2. Earnings record posting is still in process

List cases in PCACS if the posting of reported earnings is delayed (e.g., there is a problem with an employer's report), see RS 01404.160.

3. Pre-lag development

If excluding a year from the computation of benefits, see RS 01404.110.

C. When to delete listing code *374

Unless the issues are continuing (ex: ID theft cases, ongoing issues with disclaimed wages or SEI, both SEI and railroad compensation, individuals who are institutionalized, etc.), delete listing code *374 when clearing an SRDBAR reject and/or any subsequent Automated Earnings Reappraisal Operation (AERO) output that reflects the corrected earnings, delayed posting, or military service periods for the year(s) in question.

D. Description of AERO action with listing code *374

Cases listed under listing code *374 will identify any AERO action for claims specialist's review in the Payment Center, see SM 04610.032.

This is to prevent automatic processing of PIA increases when processing any AERO action. This will ensure that the ER revision made, delayed posting, or military service is taken into account when processing any AERO action, see SM 04610.032. Once the ER has been corrected, delete listing code *374 unless the issues are continuing (see subsection C).

If listing code *374 is not deleted, future automation of AERO increases is prevented because AERO BYPASS file generates an alert to the PC for manual review by a technician for payment accuracy for the beneficiary. There should also be a special message on the MBR per subsection B.1 above explaining any earnings discrepancy.
