Social Security Number Verifications

Did you know that through the Social Security Verification Service, you can verify up to 10 names and SSNs (per screen) online and receive immediate results? This option is ideal to verify new hires and to ensure the accuracy of the data for W-2 reports. Reasons on why verifying SSN’s would be beneficial include;

• Correct names and SSNs on W-2 wage reports are the keys to the successful processing of your annual wage report submission.
• Saves processing costs and reduces the number of W-2c's.
• Allows Social Security to give the proper credit to your employees' earnings record, which will be important information in determining their Social Security benefits in the future.

While the service is available to all employers, it can only be used to verify current or former employees and only for wage reporting (Form W-2) purposes. To learn more, go to The Social Security Number Verification Service (ssa.gov)
