Copy of Social Security Card

All UNL employees must provide a copy of their social security card as a requirement of employment. Failure to sign the card does not invalidate it.

NOTE: If the employee chooses to not provide their social security card as part of the Form I-9 process, there is an optional attachment field within the new hire/rehire DocuSign packets for them to attach a copy.

Employees who do not have a social security card and need to obtain a replacement card, can visit the following website: https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber. A receipt or documentation of the employee's application for a replacement card must be used in lieu of a copy of the card when submitting paperwork, until the replacement card is received. Once the employee receives the replacement card, the department should make a copy of it and submit to Payroll through the secure SharePoint site. It is recommended that departments follow-up with employees on a weekly basis until a copy of the replacement card is obtained.
