Deceased Participant Crossmatch Reports include all of the following:
The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Office of Vital Records Report. This report is considered verified upon receipt.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) Master Deceased Participant Crossmatch Report. This report is considered unclear information.
FAA reviews crossmatch reports to determine whether the budgetary unit is required to provide verification of the information reported. Additional verification is not required to effect changes to benefits or eligibility based on information that is considered verified upon receipt. (See Verifying Reported Changes for more information)
When FAA determines additional verification is required, a notice requesting the verification is sent no later than the close of business on the workday(g) after the change is received. When the participant does not return the verification requested, one of the following occurs:
The benefit amount is reduced
An open case is closed

When reapplying after closure, all of the following is considered:
Verification requested regarding the crossmatch report must be provided prior to authorizing benefits for the participant identified on the report.
When the participant identified on the report is the only person in the budgetary unit, the verification must be provided before benefits are approved. This includes NA expedited benefits.
Verification
Information on the Deceased Participant Crossmatch Report from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Office of Vital Records is considered verified upon receipt(g). No additional verification is required.
For all other reports, the participant has the primary responsibility for providing verification. (See Participant Responsibilities – Providing Verification for additional policy.)
