Full Description

This start date variable tells when the first aged spouse benefit payment was recorded in the Payment History Update System, the administrative database maintained by SSA to track actual payments made to beneficiaries. This start date can differ from the MBR start date which records only eligibility and not actual payments. The PHUS began in 1984 and hence the earliest possible start date is January 1984. The latest possible start date is December 2012.
