Full Description

This startdate variable tells when the first own retirement benefit payment was recorded in the Payment History Update System, the administrative database maintained by SSA to track actual payments made to beneficiaries. This startdate can differ from the MBR startdate which records only eligiblity 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 2014.
