Well why doesn't the government flag it went more then one name is starts reporting under an SSN.... Because they don't care.... I went to my state tax board (in CA) some years back to get copy of w2 going back for 5 years and and found out there were other people reporting under my SSN...it's right their in the state computer, more then one name reporting under the same SSN ....it would be easy to have thet system run a report and chatch these people....but nnnnnno!..... I ask about it ant the state workers response is they (the state) neither report it to you or do any thing about it... they do nothing

Many people have reported their wages under a similar but different name, employers make a mistake reporting and mix the last name with the first names, people have alias names. People accidentally mix up their SSN. SSA has some amazing programs to fix these problems. If you want to know what you are talking about go to the SSA OIG website and read their reports fixing these problems is a huge but ongoing effort for SSA.

You're right the State doesn't care, the State is not responsible for SSN corrections they have absolutely no access to SSA information, you must contact SSA, they make corrections to your SSN record.

I suppose we need a law requiring them (under penalty of some sort) to report these things, and the SS folks to do something about it. Think THAT would get passed?
