Your employees can help prevent theft of their identity by keeping their number and card safe to prevent loss or theft. Once they check their Social Security number when they start a job, suggest they put the card in a safe place, and not carry it with them.

You can get a copy at our web site www.ssa.gov or by calling 1-800-772-1213. |
