| How do you know if the Social
Security Numbers (SSN) in your files are accurate? In many
data processing systems (Personnel, Payroll, Pre-employment,
Financial, etc.), only a numeric authentication of the SSN
is performed. When SSNs are not properly validated, loss
of time, embarrassment, posting errors, and serious financial
loss can occur. COMSERV pioneered the Social Security Number
Validation System (SSNDTECT) to complement the Death Information
System (DIS) and specifically address these types of issues
by providing a simple and efficient method for SSN validation.
SSNDTECT can help companies
determine if SSNs provided by potential employees are legitimate,
and help eliminate the fraudulent or improper use of SSNs.

SSN validation resource may be inadequate.
For example, if a new employee
is hired and his or her SSN was listed on the employment
forms or keyed into a payroll system incorrectly, this erroneous
SSN could be reported over several pay periods to various
government agencies before being discovered. This error
would ultimately involve numerous hours for both the employee
and personnel office to work with the various agencies to
correct the mistake. Similar problems would result with
businesses that access records using the customer's SSN. |
