In order to work in the United States, everyone must have a valid Social Security Number (SSN). Employers are required by federal law to verify the SSNs of their employees and prospective employees. As a business, you must have an authorized workforce to avoid governmental fines, penalties, and sanctions. As an individual, you may want to verify your own SSN to be sure that any applications you submit will not be held up. In either case, the process is straightforward and must be completed carefully and accurately. There are also non-governmental sites available through the Internet that may be able to provide information, but the data is not as accurate as services provided by the federal government.
