In order to ensure that children continue to receive all those benefits for which they are eligible, some countries require these children to provide proof of enrollment in schools once they reach a certain age. These Education Institution Declarations can be uploaded through Interact SSAS from the e-Services portal or by the Social Security Administration user so they remain on file and are linked with the account of the Child.
Through the seamless integration of all processes and modules in Interact SSAS, lack of an Education Institution Declaration can lead to automatic suspension of Child Benefits which are contingent on the child being enrolled in school.
