Variable: STATE_CD
State code for beneficiary (SSA code)
Description
This variable is the two-digit Social Security Administration (SSA) code for the state identified as the beneficiary mailing address.
Comment
In some cases, the code may not be the actual state where the beneficiary resides. CMS obtains the mailing address used for cash benefits or the mailing address used for other purposes (for example, premium billing) from Social Security Administration (SSA) and Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) Beneficiary Record Systems. The coding system is the SSA system, not the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).
