khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Because the information is coming
directly from the employer through
Equifax, we will receive timely and
accurate wage and employment
reporting and will be able to administer
SSDI benefits and SSI payments more
efficiently.
• Needed to prevent improper
payments of SSDI and SSI benefits.
Æ As indicated above, we do not
always receive timely reports of changes
that could affect SSDI entitlement, SSI
eligibility, or SSI benefit amounts, and
this may cause improper payments.
Requirements to verify wages may also
cause delays that lead to improper
payments. Changes in a person’s work
and wages are a leading cause of
improper payments in the SSDI and SSI
programs. While we use a number of
sources to verify wage amounts,
verifying wages is currently a manual
process, and we continue to rely on
beneficiaries to self-report wages.9 With
automated information exchanges, we
will be able to obtain the wage and
employment records timely and without
the need for additional verification from
other sources.
Data Elements
The information exchange will
require SSA and Equifax to exchange
specific data elements. We will send the
data elements below to Equifax to
ensure we are requesting employment
and wage information for the correct
individual and timeframe. Equifax and
SSA will use a federally compliant,
secure means to exchange data and
conduct the automated comparison of
SSA to Equifax records under this
information exchange.
In order to request wage and
employment information, we will
provide the following information from
the Supplemental Security Income
Record and Special Veterans Benefits
for SSI 10 and the eWork for SSDI 11 to
Equifax:
(1) Social Security number (SSN) of
the beneficiary, recipient, or deemor;
(2) Start date and end date (month
and year) of wage and employment
information being requested;
(3) Tracking identification number.
(In response to our request, Equifax
will provide the following wage and
employment information to us, if
available:
(1) Wage earner’s SSN
9 See page 22 of the Congressional Justification for
SSA’s Fiscal Year 2020 budget available here:

In the Matter of the Designation of
Ansarallah (and other Aliases) as a
Foreign Terrorist Organization
Based upon a review of the
Administrative Record assembled in
this matter, and in consultation with the
Attorney General and the Secretary of
the Treasury, I conclude that there is a
sufficient factual basis to find that the
relevant circumstances described in
section 219 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act, as amended (hereinafter
‘‘INA’’) (8 U.S.C. 1189), exist with
respect to Ansarallah, also known as
Ansar Allah; also known as Ansarullah;
also known as Partisans of God; and also
known as Supporters of God. Therefore,
I hereby designate the aforementioned
organization and its aliases as a foreign
terrorist organization pursuant to
section 219 of the INA.
This determination shall be published
in the Federal Register.
Dated: January 12, 2021.

Designation of Abd al-Aziz Malluh
Mirjirash al-Muhammadawi as a
Specially Designated Global Terrorist
Acting under the authority of and in

Executive Order 13224 of September 23,
2001, as amended by Executive Order
13268 of July 2, 2002, Executive Order
13284 of January 23, 2003, and
Executive Order 13886 of September 9,
2019, I hereby determine that the person
known as Abd al-Aziz Malluh Mirjirash
al-Muhammadawi, also known as Abdul
Aziz Al-Mohammedawi, also known as
Abdulazeez Mlawwah Mjeresh Mjeresh,
also known as Abu Fadak AlMohammedawi, also known as Abu
Fadak, also known as Al Khal, is a
foreign person who poses a significant
risk of committing an act of terrorism
that threaten the security of U.S.

States.
Consistent with the determination in
section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that
prior notice to persons determined to be
