Updated Login Warning and Processing Multiple Records for the Same Beneficiary Within the Same File

CMS' RDS Center has updated the Login Warning that all users must agree to when accessing the RDS Secure Website. To review the updated Login Warning, refer to the Login Warning page located in the Agreements section of the RDS Program Website.

CMS' RDS Center has added clarification to the RDS User Guide regarding processing multiple records for the same beneficiary within the same retiree file. DEL records will be processed first, followed by ADD and UPD. CMS’ RDS Center will disregard the order that these records appear in the file and will process in the aforementioned order.
