Section 480-4-3-.07 - Social Security Number Required For Processing A Claim

(1) In order for a claim for unemployment benefits to be processed the law requires the claimant to furnish the Unemployment Compensation Agency his/her correct social security number. The social security number provided by the claimant shall be verified using a cross-match system with the Social Security Administration.

(2) Should there be a discrepancy between the social security number or related information provided by the claimant and the information on file with the Social Security Administration, the individual's social security number should be verified from the individual's social security card and a government issued photo identification.

(3) If, upon request by Agency representative, the individual cannot produce any document verifying his/her social security number, the Unemployment Compensation Agency data files may be used to verify the claimant's base period employment and wages. If this means of verification is used, the claimant shall provide some form of positive personal identification acceptable to the Agency.

(4) If the individual fails to abide by this rule, the individual's claim for unemployment benefits cannot be processed.
