RS 01405.090 Listing Code 374 (Earnings Record 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, list cases in the Processing Center Action Control System (PCACS) under Code 374.

NOTE: Use Code 374 for temporary and ongoing earnings inaccuracies and remove the code after resolving all earnings issues.

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, list cases in the Processing Center Action Control System (PCACS) under Code 374 (SRDBAR) and requires correction. See MS 01520.003, MS 01530.001 and MSOM PCACS 005.010.

NOTE: Also, list for beneficiaries with a history of inaccurate earnings postings, (ex. ID theft cases, ongoing issues with disclaimed SEI, etc.)

2. Earnings Record posting is still in process

List 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 list per instructions in RS 01404.110 Pre-lag Development and Documentation Requirements for Resolving Earnings Record Inaccuracies.

C. When to cancel the Listing Code 374

Unless the issues are continuing (ex: ID theft cases, ongoing issues with disclaimed SEI, etc.), cancel the listing code when clearing an SRDBAR reject and/or any subsequent Automated Earnings Reappraisal Operation (AERO) output reflects the corrected earnings, delayed posting, or military service periods for the year(s) at issue.

D. Description of automated earnings reappraisal operation action with Code 374

Cases listed under Code 374 will identify any AERO action for claims authorizer review, 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.
