Abstract: SSA is conducting interviews with centenary beneficiaries age 103 and older to : (1) determine if the beneficiaries are still living; (2) prevent fraud, through either identity misrepresentation or representative payee misuse of funds; and (3) assess the well-being of the beneficiaries. SSA’s San Francisco field offices are currently using this survey and we intend to expand its use to all other SSA field offices. Field office personnel obtain the information through onetime, in-person interviews with centenarians. During the interview, SSA employees will make overall observations of the centenarian and their representative payee (if applicable). The interviewer will use the appropriate Centenarian Development Worksheet as a guide for the interview and to document findings. SSA will conduct the interview one time only at the beneficiary’s residence or over the phone if a site visit is not possible. Refusal of the interview will not result in the suspension of the centenarian’s payments. Respondents are Supplemental Security Income recipients or Social Security beneficiaries 103 years old or older, their representative payees, or caregivers.
