We Need the Social Security Number of the Person Named Below
We do not have the correct Social Security Number for the person named below. We are required to report to the Internal
Revenue Service the amount we have paid each person using the Social Security Number. If we are unable to provide the
correct number in our reports, the Internal Revenue Service may assess a penalty charge against that person. The Social
Security Number is generally the primary identifier used by organizations that request us to provide a service to our
beneficiaries, such as withholding state income tax, union dues, or Medicare premiums. If the Social Security Number is
missing or incorrect in our files, we may be unable to provide the service because we cannot identify the individual as our
beneficiary.
If you know the Social Security Number - Please provide the information in the boxes below. We are asking for the
number of the person we have named. If you are receiving payment as the representative of the person named below, you
should enter that person's number and sign your name.
If you do not know the Social Security Number or if you must obtain a number - You should contact the nearest district
office of the Social Security Administration to ask for a Social Security Number or for proof that a number has been
assigned. Nonresident aliens do not need a Social Security Number and do not have to return this form to us.
Use the enclosed envelope to return the completed form or mail it to the address above.
Even though the Social Security Number is an item which allows us to be certain we can identify you, the retirement claim
number shown below is the primary identifier we use within the retirement system. Please include this claim number when
you write to us about the benefits you are receiving.
