Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance; Employer Identification Numbers for State and Local Government Employment

Résumé

We propose to amend our current rules dealing with the special identification numbers we issue to States that submit modifications to their voluntary social security coverage group agreements. Under the proposed revision, we would issue special identification numbers only in cases where a modification extends coverage to periods prior to 1987. This revision will permit SSA to divert scarce SSA resources to other priority workloads without adversely affecting State recordkeeping operations.
