IB uses the SEPARATION IND field as part of the process
to identify if a VA patient is also a VA employee. First, it will check if the
patient SSN is on the PAID EMPLOYEE file (#450) by looking at the "SSN" cross-
-reference. If found, it then checks if the field 80 (SEPARATION IND) for the
employee has a value different of "Y". If so, it assumes that the patient is a
VA employee.

With the Social Security Number, IB can use this
cross-reference to find the internal entry number (DA) for the SSN holder on
the PAID EMPLOYEE file (#450).
