People Search By SSN

What happens to an employer who encodes a social security number (SSN) of an employer that turns out to be wrong? That employer gets in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service, that’s what! And you don’t want to get in trouble with Uncle Sam. This is why an SSN validator is a necessary part of the hiring and personnel management process. An SSN validator can be an internal program or via a reputable online search company to run a valid SSN search for information to search by SSN. With a valid SSN you will be able to search people by SSN anytime anywhere.

To validate or not to validate? That shouldn’t be a question at all!
An SSN validator will help you as an employer make sure that the SSNs submitted by your employers are possible and valid. The SSN is comprised of nine digits that may seem random, but actually provides clues to the validity of a number in any given situation. For example, an employee born on a certain date can only have a finite number of SSNs that could be issued to him. This is because the SSN is tagged to correspond to a certain range of issuance dates, and if a particular SSN was issued prior to a person’s birth, then that SSN will certainly be wrong. Using an SSN validator will catch this error at once, which will give you a reason to verify the SSN with the Social Security Agency.

Why is an SSN validator important? The penalties for encoding the wrong SSN in an employee’s IRS W-4 form can cost $50 each. When an SSN validator flags an SSN as possibly fraudulent, the employer may now reasonably request for additional employee information using the SSN without being accused of trespassing on the right to privacy. Because there is probable cause for investigation through the SSN validator, the employer now has the right to have a background check done.

Keep it quiet
If a background check or even an SSN verification is done off the bat, the impression given is “Hey, I don’t trust you. You might be out to rob me!” which does not augur well for a lasting relationship. An SSN validator will only calculate the probability of the validity of a submitted SSN without actually accessing the SSN information directly. With the SSN validator the employee retains the right to privacy and the chances the IRS will come breathing down your neck are less likely.

The next step
It must be noted, however, that the SSN validator will not tell you that the employee is actually the owner of the SSN, only that it is possible. After the SSN validator flags an SSN, you will have to go for SSN verification with the SSA, which will give you the person-to-number match. If the report, which will not give you the name of the SSN owner if in case the number and name you gave don’t match, then it will tell you there is possible fraud going on. From there, you can in all conscience go to search companies such as GovernmentRegistry.org to run a complete background check on your erstwhile employee. An SSN validator and verification will cost less than paying the IRS penalty and you will have peace of mind. You may even end up getting a reward for bagging one of America’s Most Wanted!
