Ridiculous Social Security Card Requirement

Verizon Wireless is the only carrier I know of that requires having actual Social Security cards to sign up for service. Many people don't have their original SS cards. Other forms of ID should be allowed for these people. Insisting that the SS cards are essential to conduct credit checks is moronic. The SS number itself should be more than sufficient. I'm going to keep after Verizon until they change their policy.

Bought houses, cars and and other items requiring credit checks. Never showed a SS card. Never showed one at work either. However been asked many times for my SS number.

Why do you need a copy of my wife's social security CARD?

My wife tried to move from her parents family share plan to her own plan. Already a Verizon customer, she was asked to fax her social security CARD to corporate verizon. When asked why her card is needed and not all others who sign up, she was told this was a "Random" policy, like being selected at TSA. This did not make her feel very comfortable in sharing such personal information. Is anyone able to provide a better answer as to why her card is needed? She has excellent credit and is already a customer! If she gets no answer, she is going to AT&T.

She does not have an issue providing her social security number in order to perform the background check- she did so. The issue we are having it that she was then told that she needed to fax her drivers license and social security card in order to complete the credit check. When she asked why, the answer was "just because". She asked if everyone had to do this, and was told no. So she asked why SHE in particular needed to, and no one could answer that question. She does not feel comfortable doing this, and she should not have to if it's not required of everyone.
She would like to be able to set up her account without faxing her social security card, like many other people are able to. Can you please let me know who we can contact to make that happen?

Social Security #'s being required in order to make a payment

Hey what's with Best Buy requesting our full Social Security #'s in order to make a payment on our account? What if I didn't have it memorized or with me to give? Would Best Buy refuse to accept my payment? I don't get the need for that. I was so uncomfortable giving out such specific personal information just to make a payment. That's ridiculous and why weren't the consumers made aware of these changes? The sales associate tried to tell me it's always been like that and that is NOT correct. We have been coming in and making payments every month for a long time and not once have I been asked for that. This makes me want to rethink about giving you all my business in the future if this is your practice. I can't think of any other retail store that requests social security #'s to receive payments. Please explain yourselves!

Hello msbaird,
It is extremely wise in our modern world to be cautious with your personal information. Kudos to you for being keenly aware of this as you go about your daily business! I'm disheartened to read of your concerns when asked to provide information to us to look up your account however, and I apologize for engendering any feelings of concern or exposure.
It is my understanding that payments can be accepted by swiping your card in the card reader and providing identification in order to make your payment. If you do not have your card with you, we ask you to input your Social Security number into the keypad. The digits are not displayed on the screen facing you and cannot be seen by the associate with whom you're working. When your account information is presented to the associate, they are to compare it with your identification. These steps are in place to protect you and your account. Did you speak to a manager about your experience during your visit to the Lynnwood store?
I will ensure that your remarks are made available in full for inspection by store management and field leadership. Please know that I am grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and to share your feedback on your experience.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

If it is trying to verify your payment info, I would be willing to guess that it is looking for the security code for your credit card. Did you credit card just get replaced lately or the expiration date change? When is the last time that you updated your payment information in iTunes?

I receive Security Information Required message when I try to rent an itunes movie from my apple tv. I rent fine from my macbook, and have sharing turned on, WTH?

My apple tv appears to work fine, watching netflix and other apps. but when I try to rent an itunes movie I receive the Security Information Required message. I have sharing turned on, the apple tv and macbook are logged into the same apple ID.
WTH?
pretty frustrated.

It's telling you to verify your payment details. You need to go into iTunes on your computer and check that your address and credit card info are accurate. You will also need to make sure you have put in your security code.

My iPod Touch 4G says my social security code is invaild but it's NOT. How Can I fix this problem?

I keep on trying and it says my social security code is INVAILD. It wont let me download any apps or update them. If this has happened to you and you found a solution to this PLEASE I BEG OF YOU TO HELP ME!!!

IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!
HERE IS WHAT APPLE SUPPORT WROTE ME!
Dear Raheem,
Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Jeyaraj and I am glad to assist you today.
I understand that you are unable to download the app and received a error message saying "Theres a Billing Problem with a Previous Purchase". I know how eager you are to get this taken care of and I will do my best to resolve this for you.
Raheem, sorry for the inconvenience caused and I would like to inform you that there is a billing issue with one of your iTunes Store orders and you are unable to resume purchasing with your iTunes Store account. Unfortunately, the iTunes Store has been unable to verify an authorization from your_financial_institution and has not received payment for order (my order number was here). As soon as this order is paid for, you'll be able to resume purchasing with your iTunes Store account.
Not being able to verify an authorization is a sign that something needs to be addressed by the issuer of the card. You will need to contact your financial institution to determine the specific cause of the card being rejected.
When contacting your financial institution, ask to speak with the fraud/security department. The representative will need to thoroughly review your account until they locate and resolve what is causing the issue. If there are holds on your account, those will need to be removed. Please note that your financial institution can also choose to bypass the authorization process.
Once your financial institution has resolved the issue, you should be able to pay for the order (my order number was here) and resume purchasing. If you are not able to resolve the authorization issue with your financial institution, I recommend trying to add a new credit card or redeeming enough store credit to pay the balance in full.
I hope this information has been helpful. If you have difficulty paying the balance, please let me know. I will be happy to assist you further.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Jeyaraj
I HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU!

Potential IRS reporting change if Social Security rate is not extended

Hello - We received notice from ADP that due to the Federal Social Security rate changes this year that if the current 4.2% rate is not extended that they feel the IRS will require separate reporting capabilities for the different tax rates applied throughout the 2012 tax year. We are curious if SAP is addressing this issue systematically so that we will be able to comply with any changes to capturing and reporting 2012 taxes to the IRS.
Below is an excerpt from the notice received from ADP. Thank you for any information you can provide on this matter...
If the 4.2% Employee Social Security tax rate is not extended before we begin processing March 1 payrolls, ADP anticipates the likelihood that the IRS will require separate reporting to reflect the different rates for Social Security wages, taxes, Tips, Uncollected Social Security tax on Tips and Group-Term Life (GTL), and non-taxable Third Party Sick Pay for each rate.
In order to comply with the potential of separate reporting mandates, the existing fields will be used for reporting all wages and taxes applicable to the 4.20% rate. ADP will create new field codes to capture and display all wages and taxes applicable to the 6.20% rate. These changes would require your company to store the Social Security wages, taxes, Tips, Uncollected Social Security tax on Tips and Group-Term Life (GTL), and non-taxable Third Party Sick Pay in a separate code within your payroll system.

Kristy,
While BSI and SAP will be on top of getting the correct rate out as soon as possible I do understand what ADP is refering to. I also have a client that received that simialar notice.
At this time nothing has been release from SAP on how they will attempt to handle this if indeed the IRS makes this a mandatotry rule for tax reporting in 2012. ADP is just making the comment for now that it could happen but there is nothing in place that notes this as a mandate. If the IRS determines this is to happen it will required a W-2 Form change and those are always delivered in the YE notes from SAP beginning in October each year. My clients use processing class 30 in their wage types with a code of "T" so that they can set up accumulators. Since the tax of 4.2 is in place from Jan to March I feel that the Monthy and Quarterly accumulators will house the information needed to accomodate such a requirement.
How SAP will dictate this gets into the W-2 will have to wait until the IRS publishes an official guideline on the reporting.
I know this is not the answer on "How this will be handled" but you will want to be sure to keep an eye out in October for SAP solutions that relate to 2012 Tax Reporting. https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000733666&
Hope this helps.

How to get refund employee Social security and reverse the employer amount

Dear Members, I have a requirement to refund overpayments of Social Security to an employee. The over payments have occurred as a result of an employee retiring in the same year they come back to work as a temp. They have two employee #'s therefore the maximum for Social Security will not be recognized until it is reached under the most recent employee number. We should not be over deducting for an employee that works for the same company. If it does happen to go through and over deduct, it is extremely difficult for the employee and employer to get the refund from the IRS. I have a requirement to refund the employee and reverse the employer amount as well. Looking for suggestion. Thanks in advance Punna Rao

Hi Friend,
You will need to have a new wage type may be called as Social Security Refund wage type created that will act to be taxed for only Social Security taxes and should be entered on IT0015 to be proccessed such that it should refund Social Security amount only.
Also, whenever you have case wherein you need to have limits set appropriately for Social Security taxes, have it entered prior to next payroll run on employees' IT221 as adjustment run so that it updates YTD correctly and there is no excess of SS tax payment.
Also, IT221 needs to be also entered for refunding Employer amounts as it won't be reversed with standard reversal process as not being part of employees' net payment or gross payment, hence needs to be manually adjusted on IT221.
Thanks,
Ameet

Social Security Numbers - How can these be encrypted?

Is it possible to encrypt the employee's social security number at the database level?
If so, how is this configured? Do you use SAPCRYPTOLIB like you do credit card numbers?
Or, do you have to purchase a third-party product?
Side question: Is it configurable to mask the social security number on the screens, or is it necessary to use screen exits?
Thank You

Sirisha -
I do not want to hide the field - just mask some of the numbers.
For example, the SSN should display as XXX-XX-1234.
I don't see that you can do this with V_T588M.

Delete Social Security number and date of birth upon submit.

I have created a fillable form in LiveCycle Deseigner ES (version 8.2) for our Store Managers to use - to fill in new hire information to submit to our Corporate Office. At the bottom of the form I have 2 buttons - a Print button and a Submit button. We would like them to fill out the form with all information, including the social security number of the new hire and to use my print button to print the completed form for their records. That is easy enough. However, what I am being asked to do with the submit button is kind of complicated. I am being asked to program the submit button so that it deletes the social security number completely before the send so that we are not e-mailing a completed .pdf form with a social security number on it. How can I accomplish this? If it requires inserting programming code on the XML source tab of LiveCycle Deseigner ES, I will need specifics. Thanks!

Thanks! Your answer was very helpful and I found it to be 99.9% correct. However, it ended up that I needed to attach that code to my SSN field and not my Submit button. So, in my case, this is what it looks like when I click on my SSN field after I added the code:
topmostSubform.Page1.SSN::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)
SSN.rawValue = "";
I did the same thing for my date of birth (DOB) field:
topmostSubform.Page1.DOB::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)
DOB.rawValue = "";
I tested the form after the changes and it worked great.
You are a life saver. Thanks again!

Hi,
You don´t have to worry. The idea of the forum is to give help on what you know no matter you are an expert or not.
Being ZPESI a constant from t511k it must have a K before. For example AMT?KZPESI.
Being ZMESI a constant from t511p it must have an I before. For example NUM=IZMESI
And as Remi say you should check the parameters use in the schema to call the PCR.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Edoardo

Why does Firefox remember Social Security numbers?

I do not think this is normal operation, so I am unsure if this is Firefox's fault or the website's fault. I was just doing something on Paypal.com and when it came time to fill in my social security number, it had "suggestions" pop up under the fields with my SSN that it remembered before. Things like SS# and credit card numbers should not be remembered like this because it's a major security issue for if someone else uses my computer.
I do not want to disable remembering fields entirely because that feature is useful to me. Names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, is all okay to be auto-filled in, but not something as extremely sensitive as SS#'s.
Again, sorry if this is Paypal's fault. I will be contacting them instead if it is.
Thank you for any information you can provide.

SSN's might get stored as part of '''form history''' and not recognized as such, depending upon how the Field Name of the on-page form is labeled. Clear your '''Form and Search History''' or don't save that data to begin with.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Or get in the habit of opening a New Private Window when confronted with the need to insert SSN's which might get saved in Form History.

Mask Social Security number (National Identifier) SSN in SSHR

Hello folks,
I am working on an issue with the online payslip. We need to have the ability to hide or mask part of the social security number (national identifier), to comply with California regulatory requirements.
<ul><li>What is shown: 999-55-0001</li>
<li>What we need it to look like: xxx-xx-0001</li>
</ul>
The same goes for employee number, if longer than 4 characters. Can anyone assist?
Please note, the profile HR: National Identifier Validation, does not apply to this issue.
Thanks,
Mark

Hello Thierry,
I did log an SR, but the response was that nothing specific was going to be developed for that legislation, since they believe a personalization (hiding the SSN) will address the requirement. I was hoping that we could do this in the same way that bank accounts are masked in Payment Methods.
We have reviewed the California labor codes again and we believe we can just hide it by personalizations. We just need to make sure that SSN is not required for our other jurisdictions, otherwise we are back to the beginning.
Thanks for all your help!
