Access to Financial Institutions (AFI)

The Access to Financial Institutions (AFI) program is a service that uses a Contractor to obtain financial account information from financial institutions. The program automates the formerly paper-based Form SSA-4641 verification process with an electronic process to verify financial account balances and detect undisclosed accounts. The process is integrated with SSA's automated SSI Claims Systems, providing electronic SSA-4641 financial account request and response processing between SSA and the Contractor's system. • The program operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several territories. • The program uses a secure website application for requests that cannot be processed via the automated process. • The Contractor will be responsible for integrating their system with SSA's automated SSI Claims Systems. • The program aims to verify financial account balances and detect undisclosed accounts.
