Verifying Employees Social Security Numbers

When a new employee provides you with their social security number it is a good idea to verify that number against the Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS).

Here are just a few reasons why you might want to use SSNVS:

Correct names and SSNs on W-2 wage reports are the keys to the successful processing of your annual wage report submission and eliminate triggers for audits.
Allows Social Security to properly credit your employees' earnings record, which will be important information in determining their Social Security benefits in the future.
Checking that the name and Social Security Number match helps stop identity theft.
