I want to know why the IRS isn’t enforcing the law that went into effect in the 70s where if there was a discrepancy in a Social Security number they notified the employer and the employer had 30 days to correct the discrepancy by either firing the employee or correcting a clerical error or there was a $40 fine?

Obviously you didn't read the story. Each employee had 30 days to correct his/her SSN with the company. They didn't, they got the boot. Boo Hoo.

Sounded to me like the company did the checks on their own.

The origional rules whenever you filed a payroll report they notifired you to correct it or be fined.

There was no way for an employer to make the check themselves.

We got a couple of them over the years from employees transposing numbers on their W-2 which only took a letter to clear it up.

All i’m saying is that the goovwrnment should adhear ro the rule of notifying the employer every time that there is a discrepancy and follow it up with the action the law calls for, firing or fine.

Nothing random, every occurance!
