  "A new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule will threaten jobs of US citizens and other legally authorized workers simply because of errors in the government's inaccurate Social Security earnings databases."

    No problem with me. I know everyone is talking about one case where woman changed her name, and caused not match.

    I would rather have that then: surprise you now owe IRS $20k because of unpaid taxes in TX. But I never worked in TX? Well we have two simultaneous jobs you've been working at... Now feel free to hire an attny to dispute those claims.

    I would be upgrading all the SS cards with smart card chips PIN with pretty much no chance of faking.

    however, an employer who receives a "no-match" letter is required to give the employee 90 days to resolve the data discrepancy with the huge SSA bureaucracy, a formidable challenge, the rights groups pointed out.

    Bull, 3 months is more than enough time, and if there is a discrepancy it would behoove you to straighten it out.

    Under the I-9 rules you have to provide valid ID an SS card is one of them. A few years back I couldn't find mine. I went to the SS office, no appontment and was out with my SS card in less than 1 hr.

    90 days is more that enough time if you are "LEGALY" allowed to work in this country.

    What this article failed to mention is that if your SSN is being used by an illegal alien, you are required to pay their taxes. The IRS will assume you have 2 jobs, you will be taxed for BOTH your income the income of the illegal

    Not only that, loverman. Every recent upgrade project I am aware of has ended up being a massive, multi-million-dollar boondoggle.

      In this government's defense, all they are doing here is trying to satisfy the public clamor to weed out all illegal aliens working here and send them back home. The likely blowback will be to turn a lot of undocumented immigrants to under-the-table, tax-free work or criminal pursuits as the only way to feed their families.

        "The likely blowback will be to turn a lot of undocumented immigrants to under-the-table, tax-free work or criminal pursuits as the only way to feed their families."

        That is what the majority do. People have 90 days to straighten out their records. If they cannot do that within that is their own fault.

            They never seem to make a mistake when someone owes taxes or such-state of federal they will take it right out of your ss check.

            If they can do this in a quick, timely fashion-they should be able to do the rest.

            Another paper agency like the irs-too cheap and lazy to computerize their records. It would mean the elimination of too many jobs of their friends and relatives-I guess.

            I get sick of these businesses saying they are increasing productivity when they are too cheap to upgrade.

            What you are saying is totally untrue. I have straightened out thousands of minor errors in the years I supervised such operations at SSA. He does not have to go to court or get a lawyer. This is a typo. Use the message center to have him contact me or tell me how to get a hold of him. 30 days tops for such a minor correction and shame on you, trying to start an urban legend?

            90 days to correct a mismatch is plenty of time and after all aren't we all just trying to have accurate employment histories? We don't need any further paranoia.

              MajJohn,

              I'm not familiar with your case on your level, but I do know for a fact that if you have shown proof of your problem, whatever it may be, at your local SSA office and filled it the appropriate forms, the matter is usually resolved within 90 days. There have also been instances when problems haven't been resolved for 180 days, too.

          If you can't get the Social Security Administration to straighten out an error in 90 days, it is entirely your fault. Couldn't have ANYTHING to do with the SSA? We all know that, as part of the Federal Government they are:

          A -- Completely free from errors of any kind.

          B -- Extremely quick to rectify any error YOU made (since they can't ever, ever make errors of their own).

          What a stunning example of clear con's "thinking".

  The first SSNs I would check would be the state and federal elected officials. I would start with the president and work my way down. Any discrepancies...you're outta there!

  The first "no match" letter should be going to the U.S. Government regarding Chertoff.

  Another ploy that is intended on obfuscating enforcement of illegal aliens. Harass legal citizens while ignoring enforcement where it is needed.

  What a "Brave New World" we're living in.

  Right mamasan, but 90 days is pretty stringent. I've got to get my birth certificate and then get a passport to visit old friends across the river. Never had to do that before. Red tape is time and money. Lets just detain you until we're sure everything is on the up and up. Get my drift. Your papers please.
