Obligations Upon Receipt of No-Match Letter

Under the new regulation, when an employer receives a no-match letter from the SSA, it must check its records to determine whether it made some clerical error that caused the mismatch. If so, the employer must correct the error and inform the SSA of the accurate information. The employer must also verify with the SSA that the employee’s name and social security number, as corrected, match SSA records.
