Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) Handbookwww.socialsecurity.gov/employer/ssnvshandbk/failedSSN.htm
Remember
A mismatch is not a basis, in and of itself, for you to take any adverse action against an employee, such as laying off, suspending, firing or discriminating.
Company policy should be applied consistently to all workers.
Any employer that uses the failure of the information to match SSA records to take inappropriate adverse action against a worker may violate State or Federal law.
The information you receive from SSNVS does not make any statement regarding a worker's immigration status.
Hundreds fired over unmatched Social Security numberswww.bizjournals.com/phoenix/print-edition/2011/04/29/hundreds-fired-over-unmatched-social.html?page=all
There have been some court cases in recent years challenging federal actions on employee identification, which put off such moves. Those challenges have been resolved, and the no-match letters are being sent out again after employers sent annual W-2 information to the U.S. government in January.
You really would need to read both links to get a better understanding about mis-match social security numbers and what can be done about it.
But it does help some people understand why an employer might have trouble firing someone over a mis-match number.
