# §404.1232. Conduct of review.

- (a) **Generally, SSA staff personnel conduct the onsite review.** Occasionally, members of the Office of the Inspector General may conduct or participate in the review.
- (b) The review is done when considered necessary by SSA or, if practicable, in response to a State's specific request for a review.
- (c) All pertinent source records prepared by the State or its political subdivisions are reviewed, on site, to verify the wage reports and contribution returns. We may review with the appropriate employees in a subdivision those source records and how the information is gathered, processed, and maintained. We notify the State's Social Security Administrator when we plan to make the review and request her or him to make the necessary arrangements.
- (d) The review is a cooperative effort between SSA and the States to improve the methods for reporting and maintaining wage data to carry out the provisions of the agreement.
