RSDI Match
Match
RSDI information is prospective. There must be a complete match with MEDS/CDB for a report to be generated.
The RSDI match is made on:
- SSN
- Name
- Sex
- Date of birth.
Payment Information
The benefit amount appearing on the PVS report in the system is the amount paid in the prior month and the amount expected to be paid in the current month. After the receipt of an initial report of a recipient's benefit, no additional report will be generated until the benefit changes. A change could be an increase, decrease, or termination.
Description of the RSDI Match
The following is a description of the information contained in the RSDI Match:
| SECTION | DESCRIPTION |
| CASE INFORMATION AS REPORTED THROUGH MEDS INPUT | The match shows case record information as reported through MEDS/CDB. |
| MATCH FOUND | There will only be an entry in this section if there is a match. |
| INFORMATION SENT TO SSA | Shows the information on the recipient file from the MEDS/CDB file. |
| INFORMATION RETURNED FROM SSA |
Shows the matched identification information returned by SSA. It may or may not show the beneficiary #. If the match cannot be made because of a discrepancy, then SSA will return the same information received. The communication code mes- sage will identify when a match cannot be made and why. |
| SSA CLAIM NUMBER | This is the SSN under which benefits are being paid. If benefits are being paid from another SSN account, the account number will be shown here. All individual claims will be shown. |
| BENEFIT AMOUNT | The previous month's benefit level. If nothing appears in this box, it does not mean an absence of benefits in that month. It only means this is the first month PVS has notified SSA regarding this individual’s RSDI income. |
| SECOND BENEFIT AMOUNT | The benefit amount of the present month. If a change has occurred it will show here. A printout will only be generated on a first inquiry, or automatically when a change in data has occurred. The EW can assume the amount being received is continuing for the individual until another printout is received. |
| ENTITLEMENT |
The month and year the individual first began receiving benefits on this claim. The initial check may not have been issued timely. Discrepancies between the clients reporting and the abstract must be verified. REMINDER: For CalWORKs, retroactive payments are counted as income in the month received. For CalFresh, only the current months benefits are counted as income, the retroactive payment is counted as property in the month received. |
| PREMIUM PAYER CODE | Shows who is making the premium payment for Medicare. It will generally be the individual or the State. “Self” indicates the beneficiary is making their own payment. The State's payer code is 050. The code indicates Buy-In is in effect. The EW is to assume Medicare Buy-In is effective in the third month of eligibility although State Buy-In will not be reflected here for some further period of time. Buy-In can also be verified via the MEDS INQB screen. |
| BUY-IN AMOUNT | The amount of the individual's Medicare Buy-In payment. If the beneficiary pays their own Medicare Buy-In payment and has the amount withheld from the RSDI benefit, the premium amount reduces the amount of the SSA benefit. However, this reduction will not be reflected in the benefit amount in BENEFIT or SECOND BENEFIT amount. |
| PAYMENT STATUS MESSAGE | This message gives the status of the individual's claim. Typically, it will indicate an open or closed claim or the reason for the change to the benefit amount. |
| COMMUNICATION MESSAGE | Additional information about mismatched names, duplicate inquires, or incorrect SSNs, etc. |
| SSA OTHER STATE CONFLICT | Identifies a client who moved from California to another state, or from another state to California. |
