“I agree. But as far as I’m concerned, if a person shows you ID and a valid SSN, you’ve done due diligence.”

That is complicated by our knowledge of millions of illegal aliens using stolen SSNs.

Yes. But it’s not the employer’s job to police the validity of SSN’s used.

In fact, I compare it to a bar that checks for ID. It is not their job to ensure that every out of state (or in state, for that matter) driver’s license used for ID is not a forgery. For me, it is their responsibility to accept as authentic anything a reasonable person would accept as authentic.

But I have to admit that if all you give them is a written down SSN, there should be a simple way to verify that the SSN at least belongs to a person with the name you are using.
