Social Security has reporting agreements with over 3,000 reporters, most of which report to Social Security Administration monthly. From time to time, reports (tapes, cartridges, diskettes, CD ROMS, etc.) may get lost in the Social Security Administration’s mailroom operations. Social Security has a database that tracks inmate reports. The database will send an alert to one of the Social Security Administration field offices if your monthly report is overdue (45 days has elapsed since Social Security received your last monthly report). The Social Security Administration field office will contact you to initiate a search for the missing report. If you respond that you sent your monthly inmate report to Social Security, Social Security will undertake a manual search for the report. If Social Security is unable to locate the report, Social Security will ask you to resubmit it.
