From a Request for Information posted by the Social Security Administration (emphasis added):
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a need to acquire contractor services to provide an online wage verification system that SSA can use to substantiate employment, wage amounts, and other employment-related data. The SSA is seeking information on how an interested contractor could meet our requirement to establish a data exchange with payroll data providers to provide monthly wages per individual and employer data for use in SSA’s administration of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program on a monthly basis.
Well hopefully they can find something because the claimants are not reliable reporters.
ReplyDeleteThis must be a contractual obligation to solicit for this because SSA already has access to several third party wage verification services.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, the agency does have access to third party vendors but none of them outside of SAW push wages to the records. Looks like they’re searching for more automation rather than waiting for overburdened technicians to manually post the wages monthly.
ReplyDeleteSounds promising however I have no faith they’ll be able to provide a product without Severe shortcomings.
