ALCGPSC 022/12 announced the Social Security Administration's Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) as an approved alternative method to verify member social security numbers.
PSC-BOPS-C will use the data that you already submitted or will submit for the SPO-PDR Review data call due to DCMS-81 by COB 07FEB12. There is no need to send an additional request to BOPS to initiate SSN verifications.
BOPS will run the member's name, SSN and DOB through the SSNVS.
If the member's SSN is valid and matches both name and DOB, BOPS will send the member a digitally signed CG-3307 via email. The member's SPO Supervisor will also receive a copy of the CG-3307 for informational purposes. The member will need to digitally or manually sign the CG-3307 and return it to his/her SPO YN.
If the member's SSN is invalid and does not match both name and DOB, the member and their SPO Supervisor will be notified by email. Once the situation is resolved, the SPO should contact BOPS to have the member's information run again.
SPO YNs file the CG-3307 as if it were a copy of the members SSN by placing it in Section 1 of the SPO-PDR (not in Section 4 as the message indicates or in Section 2 where normal CG-3307's are filed). SPO YNs should also forward a scanned signed copy of the CG-3307 to PSD-MR at ARL-PF-CGPSC-PSD-MR_DOCS@uscg.mil.
If you have any questions, please email ARL-DG-M-CGPSC-BOPS-C@uscg.mil or contact YN1 Juan Calderon or LCDR Christine Fern.
