Manager asking to see Social Security card?

[CrappyCourier]

Good evening everyone! I've got a quick question I'd like to get some opinions on, if you'd all be so helpful.

My manager is asking to see my Driver's License and Social Security card, and when I asked why, they told me it was for security/background purposes. I've been with the company for 15+ years, so I'm not sure why they would need this information again, since it should be on file. They told me they do it every 5 years, but I do not remember having to show them my SS card in the past, only when I was hired.

Does this sound fishy? Or is it just me? I read online that there are official IRS and SSA websites that employers are supposed to use to verify SSNs and names. If this is the case, then why are they asking me? It also says online that an employee is not obligated to provide a physical copy of their SS card to an employer unless the employee is suspected of using a SSN and/or name that are not registered with the IRS/SSA.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I'd like to hear what you all have to say on the matter.

Thank you for any and all input!

This could be the case, I just don't remember doing this in the past. It does align with my original hire date coming up though, so I guess that could be it. I can't even find my SS card - it's been so long since I've had to show it to someone. I requested a new one through the SSA but it says it could take up to 3 weeks to arrive in the mail. I'll just let my manager know and if they need to verify it sooner, they're gonna have to do it online, I guess, LOL.

I'm wondering if maybe they've done it online in the past and maybe that's why I'm not remembering doing it? I don't know, my brain is slowly turning to mush as the years go by.

Thanks!

How come they didn’t catch you yet?

We lost drivers to falsified documents. If undocumented, best to prepare yourself. Once June comes, they'll probably ramp up the enforcement.

I was asked for my Social Security card about six years ago. Was told it was for security background check. Hasn’t happened since.
