TCE Announces Streamlined SSN eForm Processing
The Office of Talent, Culture, and Engagement (TCE) is excited to share an update on the processing of eForms for employees applying for a Social Security Number (SSN). In collaboration with Payroll and OIT, we've made a change that now allows us to process eForms for those who have applied for but not yet received their SSN.
Now, when submitting an eForm to hire an employee, you can include either the accurate SSN or all "X's" if the SSN application is still pending. Make sure to attach the SSA Application Receipt provided by the SSA for approval.
While this change impacts all employees, it was driven by the Student Employment Revamp project to address inequities in the hiring process, particularly for international students, ensuring they face fewer obstacles when starting their employment.
