Verifying Social Security Numbers

Posted by Andy
As an employer, one of your responsibilities is to verify the accuracy of the social security number your employees provide to you. If there is an error in the number you use, it could cause headaches later down the road when the reports you file are returned for correction.

"Employers can now verify employee Social Security numbers for wage reporting purposes using an automated Telephone Number Employer Verification(TNEV) service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. TNEV allows registered users to verify up to 10 employee names and SSNs at one time - without having to speak to a Social Security representative."
