Payroll News Concerning the Social Security Administration

The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 strengthened the protection and integrity of Social Security numbers. Provisions of that law, which became effective December 17, 2005, include:
  • Expanded and more stringent verification of birth records;
  • Stricter requirements for providing identity and immigration status;
  • Limits on replacement cards.


  • The same law will require states to stop using Social security numbers on driver’s licenses. SSA has instituted multiple measures to ensure the safety of your Social Security number and continue to look at more and better ways to safeguard your number.
