There is a service at SSA that allows you to validate Employees via a web interface 10 at a time. I wonder if it could be consumed. *http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv.htm*<http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv.htm> "While the service is available to all employers and third-party submitters, it can only be used to verify current or former employees and only for wage reporting (Form W-2) purposes."
additional info... 000-xx-xxxx will never be used. 666-xx-xxxx, and 900-xx-xxxx through 999-xx-xxxx are not planned to be used at this time. Numbers above 772-xx-xxxx have not been assigned to any area as of yet. 700-xx-xxxx-728-xx-xxxx were issued to Rail Road employees and have been discontinued There are also multiple numbers that were invalidated that were part of add campaigns. 078-05-1120 (Woolworth wallet) 219-09-9999 (SSA Pamphlet) 987-65-4320 - 987-65-4329 (officially assigned to advertising campaigns) On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 10:17 AM, morgan l <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Looks like CF's IsValid() will accept a type of SSN ( > > http://www.houseoffusion.com/documentation/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00000534.htm > ), > which would suggest that there is some sort of check-sum or other algorithm > available, which will give better results than the 111-11-1111 mask would. > > It won't verify that the number has ever been issued, or that the number > does not belong to a deceased person, or that it belongs to the person > claiming it. > > On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 8:33 AM, Rick Root <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Honestly, I don't think there is any other validator, and I'd be quite > > surprised if there was any kind of service that validated SSNs as real or > > otherwise. > > > > On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 8:06 AM, Greg Edmonds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > Hello All, > > > > > > > > > > > > I know there are many ways to validate a US social security number, but > > is > > > there any way to verify that it is actually a real ssn number?
