SSR 83-32

PURPOSE: To establish a rule for determining the month in which the
Secretary of Health and Human Services receives the Notice of Deportation
in those cases where the date of receipt is not shown on the form, is
illegible, or the date is not in the Alien Deportation Master File.

CITATIONS (AUTHORITY): Section 202(n)(1)(A) of the Social Security
Act; Regulations No. 4, section 404.464(a).

PERTINENT HISTORY: Section 202(n) of the Social Security Act
provides that no monthly benefit shall be paid to an individual on the
basis of his or her wages and self-employment income for any month after
the month in which the Secretary is notified by the Attorney General that
such individual has been deported. (The deportation must have been under
certain specified sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act.) The
Form I-157, Notice of Deportation, contains the date on which the
individual was deported and is date stamped upon receipt by the Social
Security Administration (SSA) to indicate the date on which the Secretary
was notified.

Information from the Form I-157, including the date on which the notice
was received, is entered into the Alien Deportation Master File maintained
by the Office of User Requirements and Validation of SSA. The Alien
Deportation Master File fails, however, in approximately 15 percent of the
entries, to show the date the notice was received. Often, the date of
receipt was not stamped on, or is illegible on the Form I-157. Thus, in
some instances where the date of receipt would have a direct bearing on
the payment of benefits, the date is not available.

The original of the Form I-157 is retained by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service; however, it would not serve to prove when the form
was received by SSA. Experience shows that the majority of the Forms I-157
are received within one month of the date of the deportation.
nces where the date of receipt would have a direct bearing on
the payment of benefits, the date is not available.

POLICY STATEMENT: When the Form I-157, Notice of Deportation, or
the Alien Deportation Master File does not reflect the date of receipt by
SSA or the date is illegible, the month of receipt will be deemed to be
the month following the month in which the I-157 shows that the worker was
deported.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Upon receipt.

FURTHER INFORMATION: The claim file of the deported beneficiary
will be documented to explain that, in the absence of the actual date of
receipt, the date is established based on the date of deportation, using
this Program Policy Statement as authority.
