I'm unable to open the first link--which happens with SS links at times. If you can correct it and post both in the stickies for future reference, that would be a great help! TY.

Both links worked for me. Perhaps try a different browser? I used Safari.

For that top link I get this message on my screen (browser is firefox) (also tested it with Comodo Ice Dragon browser- same message)
I don't know if that is because it is some other site and is not a government website??


screen message-

8. “Scanline” data

The scannable mailer includes barcoded information as well as three lines of scannable data on the front of the mailer, immediately below the telephone number and claim number. These scanlines contain substantial information:
Scanline 1 –
Field 1 – Social Security Number under which the mailer is being controlled

Field 2 – Beneficiary Identification Code (BIC) (Title II), or

Individual Recipient Identification code (ID) (Title XVI)

Field 3 – Year of beneficiary's birth

Field 4 – Year of most recent prior CDR

Field 5 – Primary and Secondary Diagnosis Codes


Scanline 2 –
Field 1 – Medical Diary Reason/Type

Field 2 – Concurrent Entitlement information

Field 3 – Profile Type (High, Medium, or Low)

Field 4 – Profiling SCORE (9999 is highest)

Field 5 – Report Period covered by the mailer

Field 6 – Scanning Form Identification Code (SFIC) (describes if it is a first or second request mailer, whether it is Title II, concurrent, or Title XVI-only, and whether the beneficiary prefers a non-English language notice).

Field 7 – Servicing Processing Center

Field 8 – Servicing State Agency/DDS code

Field 9 – Servicing Field Office (FO) Code


Scanline 3 –
Field 1 – Servicing FO City Name

Field 2 – Servicing FO State

I am good at figuring things out.

Also, first link says it is not trusted for me as well.
