Iowa Code sections 252J.8, 261.126 and 272D.8, require records of employment agency licenses issued to sole proprietors to be maintained by social security numbers (SSN). If you
are a sole proprietor and you withhold your SSN, this application will be denied. SSNs may be shared with Child Support Recovery Unit, Department of Human Services, the Student
College Aid Commission and the Department of Revenue, for use in the collection of debts. If you are behind in payments, this or future application may be denied. If you already
have a license it may be suspended or revoked. Your SSN may also be shared with other governmental agencies.
