    Employers checking SS#'s

    Is there a new requirement that employers MUST check the SS# of a new hire with the SSA?

    I think we had a thread about this some while back.

    Is this something the Gov't is considering, or is it in place?

    Thanks. :>)

      To my knowledge, at present it's NOT a requirement.
      If it were - IRS would officially send out notices to every 941 filer.

          There are 3 threads you can refer back to in which there was a lively discussion of this issue and its implications. I remember because I had a keen interest in the subject. There was lots of good information provided by many members.

          Try searching "Social Security Number Verification" and they should pop up.

              SSN Verification

              Some of the states have mandated it, Arizona is one I've heard has sanctions for failure to verify SSN upon employment. Likely the states will force it before Congress will.
