That's the way I read it....
"1.3.9 Rejected Transactions
A 271 Eligibility, Coverage or Benefit Information response transaction must
contain
at least one EB (Eligibility or Benefit Information) segment or one AAA (Request
Validation) segment. This is assuming that the 270 Eligibility, Coverage or
Benefit Inquiry has passed syntax error checking without any errors and has not
been identified as rejected in a 997 Functional Acknowledgment.
..... One other use of the AAA segment is to identify a
problem with the processing system itself (e.g. the Information Source's system
is down). In this case, validation of data may or may not have taken place, so
the assumption is made that the data is correct (AAA01 would be "Y" since it
cannot
point out where the error is), but the transaction will likely have to be resent
(as determined by AAA04)."
