A SSA Inspector General (IG) report, “Accuracy of Social Security Administration’s NUMIDENT File”, December, 2006, indicates incorrect citizenship information in SSA’s NUMIDENT File for foreign-born U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens. The IG report states, 7.7 percent of foreign-born U.S. citizens in the NUMIDENT were misclassified as U.S. Citizens and 7.0 percent of non-U.S. citizens with an SSN were misclassified because they did not notify the SSA after they had naturalized as U.S. Citizens.”
Above is from the link. He sticks to the “non citizen” status of o.
Generally, green card holders naturalize to become U.S. Citizens after they have obtained a SSN as a Permanent Resident Alien. The new U.S. Citizen is required to update their new citizenship status with the SSA. Some do not which results in false positives on E-verify, SSNVS.
Consequently, employers are told to report their findings of an E-verify search, but not fire the employee because their status has not been updated or is in the process of being updated. Either way, a false positive on E-Verify does not revoke the citizens Certificate of Naturalization.
