Recommendation Number Recommendation Status Significant Recommendation Additional Details
3 Open No
Update policy to establish timeframes for staff to resolve non-wage-related alerts before SSA overwrites IRS non-wage income data in its systems and/or administrative finality rules apply.
4 Open No
If SSA does not implement recommendation 3, then it should retain the IRS non-wage income data in its systems beyond 2 years, so it is available for staff to process cases involving fraud or similar fault.
