If you were to fill out a job application and it asked for your SSN, would you give it? I did once before, but now I feel reluctant to give it in the future unless I know I will be hired.
-
I don't actually fill out many job applications, but if one asks for it, I fill it out.
I've worked in HR in the past, and any incomplete applications were immediately disregarded, so I am hesitant to leave blanks.

Thank you for your valuable input. I will bear this in mind. :)

Speaking of SSN I noticed that on a few of the bank card offers they want you to put it in. Thats kind of scarry! I didn't know if it was a good move to put it in like that. Anybody else have any hesitation on it?
-
Yes I give it. I'm not hiding anything and I'm not too concerned about identity theft.
-
I would place my SS number on an application because they might think I was trying to hide something.
-
I would not give out my Social Security Number unless it is important paper.
-
I never give my SS# unless absolutely needed. I never put job application. I will provide when hired. Identity theft is a huge problem and I will make it as hard as I can for someone to steal mine! :wave: :peace:
-
For a job application and other important papers then yes, for anything else I'm a little hesitant.
-
Isn't it a requirement to fill in your SS number on a job application? If you want to get paid when your hired they will need your social number.
I use my SS number online when doing debit card offers, ONLY when the site has a safe lock. Worked fine for me so far.
-
Job applications almost always ask for your SSN. They'd actually be pretty remiss if they didn't, because they need that information to do a background check before they consider you a candidate for employment. If you don't give them that information, it's easy to assume that either your info isn't legit or you have something to hide.
Just make sure you're applying to REAL reputable companies and not just some possible fraud posted on Craigslist. Do your research first and you'll be fine!

I once gave a sandwich shop my ssn. I wish I hadn't after I turned it in. Not because anything happened but because it was a real small ma and pa place and didn't know anyone there. It would definitely depend on the company. :dontknow:
-
I always fill out my ssn on my job applications. However, I am hesitant to give it out other places, such as the new $.20 offer under the video section.
-
most places must have it now to do the everify to make sure you're legal to work
-
;D I all the time give it out, just only they don't ask for it. Because there is nothing like treasure that have to cover in secret, haaaaaaa!!!! Somebody want to get or do whatever with it, because:

The social security number is mandatory in the USA to process your payroll check.
-
Ya I will put my SSN# on a job applaction coz I think it a must maybe they wanna know ur background and etc.
-
I thought they couldn't ask for that unless you are hired and are filling out a w4 form. I could be wrong.
-
I get hesitant to put my SSN down as well. I usually just hand to a manager/supervisor when I get done filling out the application. Maybe you can just put the last four digits down if you're unable to do so? Online applications usually ask for the last four digits from I've seen.
-
For my job I was required to undergo a background check, a credit check, and a drug test. Had to provide SS# along witih driver's license and complete employment timeline. For the record I was going thru this for an insurance job. I'm pretty sure that most places that have a sizeable number of employees perform checks on them of some sort or another--and you need the SS for that. I can tell you this: there are some places that don't consider this a good identifier anymore if you're trying to verify someone's identity over the phone because the SS is too widely available and too easy for someone else to get and use.
Sometimes it is a conundrum.
-
I believe they ask for it on an job application because some companies do back ground checks and they need your ssn to do that. They are supposed to let you know they are running one, but most times they don't. It also helps them if they are for a fact going to hire you, they can get the paperwork started prior to even interviewing you.
-
I still fill in my ssn anyway. The other guy is right, if you leave some crucial parts such as the ssn off of your application, it would most likely be thrown out. I guess as long as it's on paper.
-
I think it is very safe to give out your social security number on a job application. It is never good idea to leave anything blank.
-
I think they ask for the ssn number because it is used for tax purposes. I think I would ask if I could provide the number once I was hired.
