From what I understand is if you have benefit records that have been closed for more than the 3 year requirement you can then destroy. The No 8 destruction is that if your records contain social security numbers, it must "be shredded, pulped or incinerated. If shredding, must use a cross-cut shredder that reduces paper to a size no wider than 3/8 inches." Delsie D. Butts Administrative Manager Frederick County DSS 107 N.

How long do we actually keep the record for? It states on GS 15 "Retain 3 years after case closure then destroy in compliance with No. 8 on the schedule cover page." Can someone shed some light on this subject? Thanks.
