A new addition to SSA's Program Operations Manual Series (POMS) alerts SSA employees to a problem with the data used by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) concerning prisoners. Because of computer problems, Medicare claims are being denied on the grounds that a person is incarcerated even after they have been released and SSA has been notified of the release. Apparently, the computers at SSA and CMS are not communicating with each other on prisoner releases.
