We are modifying the system manager to include up-to-date contact information per OMB Circular A108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act. We are modifying the policies and practices for retention and disposal of records to include the National Archives and Records Administration NARA General Records Schedule GRS 4.2 Information Access and Protection Records, Item 130, Personally Identifiable Information Extracts. Lastly, we are modifying the notice throughout to correct miscellaneous stylistic formatting and typographical errors of the previously published notice to ensure the language reads consistently across multiple systems. We are republishing the entire notice for ease of reference.
In an effort to mitigate improper payments, we established the Travel and Border Crossing Records to collect information about applicants, beneficiaries, and recipients under Titles II, XVI, and XVIII who are or have been absent from the United States U.S. for certain periods of time.
Generally, we rely on individuals to self-report their foreign travel.
Oftentimes, we do not receive these reports or we receive them untimely, which results in improper payments. In general, we suspend Title II benefits to aliens who remain outside of the U.S.
for more than six consecutive calendar months. We generally suspend Title II
benefits to both U.S. citizens and nonU.S. citizens who travel to a country where payment is restricted by the U.S.
Additionally, we suspend Title XVI
payments to both citizen and noncitizen recipients who are outside of the U.S. for a full calendar month or 30
consecutive days or longer. SSA is not responsible for making Title XVIII
payment determinations on claims for services submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
However, the information collected in this system will be used for two purposes relating to Title XVIII. First, because Medicare enrollment criteria requires residence in the U.S., SSA will use this information to make initial and reconsideration decisions on Medicare entitlement claims. Second, SSA will use this information to make determinations on physical presence in the U.S. and will update the Master Beneficiary Record MBR system of records with those determinations. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services may use information from the MBR in making decisions on whether a Medicare claim can be paid.
