Introduction This topic contains information on the review of SSA Prison Match worksheets, including end product (EP) assignment for SSA Prison Match worksheets comparing the SSA Prison Match worksheet with the corporate record for possible erroneous identification implications of an SSA Prison Match caveat about SSA Prison Match results developing to identified prison before due process is released sources of information about the incarceration in SSA Prison Match cases documenting the incarceration in SSA Prison Match cases no response from prison facility in SSA Prison Match cases where to send notice of proposed adverse action in SSA Prison Match cases reporting SSA Prison Match cases, and contacts for SSA Prison Match cases. Change Date September 23, 2014 a. EP Assignment for SSA Prison Match Worksheets End product (EP) 290 applies to each SSA Prison Match worksheet reviewed or VETSNET 890 work item identified. Use the “run date” that appears in the upper, right-hand corner of the SSA Prison Match listing as the date of claim when establishing the 290 EP. Clear (PCLR) the EP 290 when it has been determined that the award is not subject to adjustment, or all development action has been completed and, except for the issuing of advance notice of adverse action, the award is ready for adjustment. Note: Follow the instructions in M21-1, Part III, Subpart ii, 1.C.6.b if action on the worksheet cannot be taken immediately, and the action involves an award of disability compensation or DIC. Reference: For more information on due process and the issuing of advance notice of adverse action, see M21-1, Part I, 2.A b. Comparing the Prison Match Worksheet With the Corporate Record for Possible Erroneous Before taking any action on the match, compare the information on the worksheet or listing with information maintained in the corporate record. Compare the name in the Prisoner’s Name field on the worksheet with the beneficiary’s or dependent’s name in the corporate record If the names are not close, check the date in the Date of Birth field on the worksheet with the date of birth in the corporate and, if applicable, the Beneficiary Identification and Records Locator Subsystem (BIRLS).

Students transferring to NLHS from an alternate schedule, block schedule, will have credits accordingly, either up or down. A copy of the Laurel County Schools Honor Diploma Student Checklist is on page 41 of this handbook. DUAL CREDIT POLICY It is the mission of North Laurel High School to assist students to attain the highest level of academic excellence. With this thought in mind, we recommend that the council approve the following policy regarding the awarding of dual credit for students who wish to enroll in college classes offered by Somerset Community College and at Eastern Kentucky University through the EKU NOW! program. Students wishing to enroll in college courses taught at the Laurel County campus of Somerset Community College, or of Eastern Kentucky University, may do so, and may earn credit both at the college and North Laurel High School, if they meet the following criteria: Student has fulfilled all required credits for graduation Student must have written permission from parent/guardian to participate Student can provide own transportation to and from the college campus Student can enroll in a maximum of six hours of college course work (2 credits at NLHS) Additionally, the following restrictions will apply: Course must reflect the Kentucky Academic Expectations for that subject (reflected in course syllabus) The district Letter of Assurances for the Program of Studies (submitted annually to KDE) must reflect the dual credit policy By adhering to these provisions, students may earn both college hours and high school credit while still enrolled at NLHS. This is an advantage for juniors and seniors who have earned all required credits, who may otherwise have to enroll in high school classes not reflected in their Individual Graduation Plan. The school can continue to receive funding for these students, to prevent any reduction of programs or resources. NLHS students who are admitted to the EKU Now! Dual Credit program will be allowed to take one course at no cost. High school seniors may take a 2nd course each semester, at no cost, if they have a composite ACT score of 24 or higher at the time of application to the program. If
