Because the information is coming 

directly from the employer through 

Equifax, we will receive timely and 

accurate wage and employment 

reporting and will be able to administer 

SSDI benefits and SSI payments more 

efficiently. 

• Needed to prevent improper 

payments of SSDI and SSI benefits. 

Æ As indicated above, we do not 

always receive timely reports of changes 

that could affect SSDI entitlement, SSI 

eligibility, or SSI benefit amounts, and 

this may cause improper payments. 

Requirements to verify wages may also 

cause delays that lead to improper 

payments. Changes in a person’s work 

and wages are a leading cause of 

improper payments in the SSDI and SSI 

programs. While we use a number of 

sources to verify wage amounts, 

verifying wages is currently a manual 

process, and we continue to rely on 

beneficiaries to self-report wages.9 With 

automated information exchanges, we 

will be able to obtain the wage and 

employment records timely and without 

the need for additional verification from 

other sources. 

Data Elements 

The information exchange will 

require SSA and Equifax to exchange 

specific data elements. We will send the 

data elements below to Equifax to 

ensure we are requesting employment 

and wage information for the correct 

individual and timeframe. Equifax and 

SSA will use a federally compliant, 

secure means to exchange data and 

conduct the automated comparison of 

SSA to Equifax records under this 

information exchange. 

In order to request wage and 

employment information, we will 

provide the following information from 

the Supplemental Security Income 

Record and Special Veterans Benefits 

for SSI 10 and the eWork for SSDI 11 to 

Equifax: 

(1) Social Security number (SSN) of 

the beneficiary, recipient, or deemor; 

(2) Start date and end date (month 

and year) of wage and employment 

information being requested; 

(3) Tracking identification number. 

(In response to our request, Equifax 

will provide the following wage and 

employment information to us, if 

available: 

(1) Wage earner’s SSN 

(2) Wage earner’s first name 

(3) Wage earner’s last name 

(4) Employer name 

(5) Employer identification number 

(6) Employer address 

(7) Transmission date of wage and 

employment response from Equifax 

to us 

(8) Date of payment 

(9) Amount of gross pay 

(10) Frequency of pay 

(11) Pay period begin and end date 

(12) Year-to-date gross wage amount 

(13) Applicable deductions, including 

but not limited to the following: 

a. Federal, state and local taxes 

b. Federal Insurance Contributions 

Act taxes 

c. Medicare taxes 

d. Garnishment 

e. Cafeteria plans 

(14) Employer telephone number 

(15) Wage earner’s job title 

(16) Employment begin date 

(17) Employment end date 

(18) Amount of net pay 

(19) Pay rate 

(20) Hours worked per pay period 

Request for Comments 

We are requesting comments

address questions such as: 

1. Have we identified the appropriate 

design for an information exchange? 

2. Are there any additional 

operational elements of an information 

exchange that we should include?

comments, but we will consider them as 

we review our plan to implement the 

information exchange under section 824 

of the BBA.
