SSA plans to conduct a 6-month pilot
project requesting photographic identification from individuals
filing for title II and XVI disability benefits in specified
geographic areas. During the pilot SSA will require individuals to
allow us to take their photograph, which will become a part of
their claims folder. SSA will also collect pilot performance and
tracking data through two associated forms. This process is
intended to strengthen the integrity of disability claims.
