From a JOA post on the Connect board–a listing of Beneficiary Identification Codes and a short history of Senator Prouty:
“What you’re asking about is the “beneficiary identification code.” I’ve given a link to a list in the public POMs. Below I’ve also pasted a somewhat longer list of BICs, taken from something published in the San Francisco region.
The BIC isn’t always a single digit. BICs for disability benefits always begin with H. So the wage earner’s BIC for RIB is A, while for DIB it’s HA.”
