Example 1-ADD

**W9100011 Error on ADD-SSN/AT-ID did not match but demographics matched

Question: Why did our district get an "Error on Add" on a PET/PID Statement of Discrepancies after an attempt to enter a PET event for a student? The report shows another student who is already in the PID database with the same name and date of birth as our district's student. The district researched to determine these are two different students who happen to share a first name, last name, and date of birth. How does the district fix this PID error? What is causing this PID error?

Answer: There are four major demographics that must be unique to all students in the PID database: student ID number, first name, last name and date of birth. Neither the PID application nor the PID maintenance application will allow a student to be entered into the PID database if:

• there is a match on identification number
• three of the four major demographics match

This "Error on Add" will need to be corrected at the Texas Education Agency (TEA). It is a "Special Add" that will require supporting documentation - birth record, student ID or alternate ID, to be sent along with the Discrepancy Report to the PID Coordinator. Supporting documentation is necessary to substantiate the correction request. Follow your district's procedures by submitting information to either your ESC PEIMS Coordinator or directly to TEA.
