Removal of SSN From Employee Records
One who is looking to remove their Social Security Number can find directions inside Social Security Secrets. One can remove their SSN via the billing department by following the directions in that section. Simply ask and be nice - smile the whole time! Have a witness when the papers are delivered, so any denial can result in an automatic win via lawsuit. Explain that removal of an SSN is requested [by you] and required per the Privacy Act, denial can result in a lawsuit (which one should explain - they do not want). Any penalties for not having a SSN for an employee ($500 fine) can be deferred through an IRS 843 Abatement Form. Even if an employer refuses, one can still receive the tax withholdings back.
