Note:

These changes are scheduled to go live on May 17, 2014. We will contact you when the changes have been completed.

  • Date of birth is required for all verifications and is now a mandatory field.
  • The SSA-89 has no gender field and we removed the field from the application. You may not verify information that is not included on the SSA-89.
  • If the verification is for a minor under age 18, you must obtain appropriate consent from a parent or court appointed guardian along with proof of relationship, such as child’s birth certificate and parent’s driver’s license or court document showing guardianship and a driver’s license.
    • For online services, this is a Yes or No question.
    • Web Service users must provide a Y or N in their verification request. See the Interface Specification documentation for more info.
  • We discontinued the CBSV Batch service.
  • Updates to the online interface to reflect SSA’s standardization of data fields and interface usability and accessibility.
