Letter from Social Security? Proceed with Caution.
September 17th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Recent reports indicate businesses have been receiving a new type of letter from the Social Security Administration. These letters state that the business has been selected randomly to take part in a Social Security Administration study and request information about specific employees. The letters include questions about the employees’ original employment applications, Social Security Numbers and documents. If your company receives one of these letters, please proceed carefully and consult with legal counsel before responding. In addition to labor law and immigration law considerations, privacy issues and potential fraud should also be considered.
