Verifications, Inc. Announces New Social Security Number Verification

New product verifies applicant’s provided name and SSN matches the Social Security Administration’s Master File.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 25, 2008

Verifications, Inc. (VI), a leading provider of global employment screening and onboarding solutions, today announced the release of a new product, the Social Security Number (SSN) Verification. The new SSN Verification will be available to order on December 22, 2008.

Employers can use the SSN Verification to verify an applicant's social security number before they are hired, improving the accuracy of payroll records and virtually eliminating post-hire hassles such as no-match letters. The SSN Verification uses the most reliable source for SSN data - the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Master File - to determine if an applicant’s provided name and SSN match and whether the SSN is issued to a person who has been reported as deceased.

“Employers can easily add the SSN Verification to their existing background screening process,” says Samantha Hanson, Verifications, Inc.’s Executive Vice President of Products and People. “Performing the SSN Verification pre-hire during the background investigation – instead of as a separate post-hire activity – builds efficiencies, improves the accuracy of payroll records and alleviates post-hire follow-up headaches such as no-match letters”

As part of their ongoing commitment to compliance, Verifications has built an applicant notification process into the product, giving employers peace of mind that the applicant is notified if the provided SSN and name do not match SSA records. Verifications also ensures the required applicant consent form is complete and signed prior to processing the verification.
