How to spot fake: Social Security Cards

Thursday, December 28th, 2017
With many dairy farmers employing workers from all over it’s important to ensure that they have the proper paperwork to be legaly employed. When you hire a new employee, you have two responsibilities. Make sure the employee fills out a W-2 and a form I-9, and then verify, to the best of your knowledge, the identification cards they show you are real. That’s it. You don’t need to be a private investigator, you just need to verify they appear to be real.

Follow the steps below to spot a fake Social Security card.

The first thing is to know the numbers. 987-65-4320 to 987-65-4329 are only used in advertisements and never on a real Social Security card. Below are more numbers that are not valid:

002-28-1852
078-05-1120
128-03-6045
165-16-7999
165-20-7999
189-09-2294
212-09-9999
468-28-8779
042-10-3580
095-07-3645
135-01-6629
165-18-7999
165-22-7999
212-09-7694
306-30-2348
549-24-1889
062-36-0749
141-18-6941
165-24-7999
308-12-5070

Next, know the number sequence. The current format is a 9 digit number, broken up into 3 sections.
(1) The first set (123-xx-xxxx) called the area number
(2) The second set (xxx-45-xxxx) called the group number
(3) The third set (xxx-xx-6789) called the serial number

The SERIAL numbers are a straight numerical sequence from
0001 – 9999. (0000 is never used)

INVALID Social Security numbers:
· Any of the three fields contain all zeros
· AREA number “666” never has and never will be used
· AREA numbers 650-699
· AREA numbers 729 to 999 except for 764 and 765
· AREA number 550, GROUP 19 (i.e. 550-19-0001)
· AREA number 586, GROUPS 19,29,59 and 79-99

Next, look closely at the printed numbers and name (preferably with a magnifying glass). The numbers and letters should not have any smudges and should all be in alignment.
