SSNVS Overview

There are two Internet verification options you can use to verify that your employee names and Social Security numbers (SSN) match Social Security's records. You can:

• Verify up to 10 names and SSNs (per screen) online and receive immediate results. This option is ideal to verify new hires.
• Upload overnight files of up to 250,000 names and SSNs and usually receive results the next government business day. This option is ideal if you want to verify an entire payroll database or if you hire a large number of workers at a time.

While the service is available to all employers and third-party submitters, it can only be used to verify current or former employees and only for wage reporting (Form W-2) purposes.

Why Should I Verify Names and SSNs Online

• Correct names and SSNs on W-2 wage reports are the keys to the successful processing of your annual wage report submission.
• It's faster and easier to use than submitting your requests paper listings or using Social Security's telephone verification option.
• Results in more accurate wage reports.
• Saves processing costs and reduces the number of W-2c's.
• Allows Social Security to give the proper credit to your employees' earnings record, which will be important information in determining their Social Security benefits in the future.

WARNING

On June 25, 2011, Social Security changed the SSN assignment process. The information below explains how we established and issued SSNs prior to the new SSN assignment process. We continue to provide it strictly for historical and informational purposes. Please see SSN Randomization for more information on Social Security's new assignment process and how it may affect you.

Since 1973, social security numbers have been issued by our central office. The first three (3) digits of a person's social security number are determined by the ZIP Code of the mailing address shown on the application for a social security number. Prior to 1973, social security numbers were assigned by our field offices. The number merely established that his/her card was issued by one of our offices in that State. See also High Group List of SSN's.

THIS DATA IS STRICTLY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES

NOTES

**700-728 Issuance of these numbers to railroad employees was discontinued July 1, 1963.

Any number beginning with 000 will NEVER be a valid SSN.

The information in our records about an individual is confidential by law and cannot be disclosed except in certain very restricted cases permitted by regulations.

Verifiable Parental Consent Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you send me a parental consent letter?

If a player identifies as a child, privacy laws may require the parent or guardian to grant permission to access an online game or service that collects personal information. To comply with these laws, we need to verify that the person consenting to their child's access to this service is in fact an adult.

We received your email address from the child who created the Epic account. An Epic account gives you access to various games and services: Fortnite, Rocket League or Fall Guys, as well as other games and services not owned by Epic Games, by signing in with an Epic account. Due to your child's age, their account is restricted and cannot access certain content until you give consent or the child reaches the age of digital consent in their region.

Disabled features:

• communication with other players in voice or free text chat;
• purchases for money;
• downloading non-Epic games;
• recommendations based on past performance;
• email advertising and pop-up notifications;
• deals in Rocket League;
• Epic login, linking accounts to certain external services, sites, or apps;
• display name change;
• two-factor authentication via SMS.

In the e-mail you received there is a link, by clicking on which you will start the process of confirming parental consent for the child in your browser and will be able to set parental settings. In the process, you will need to verify that you are the parent or guardian of the child and prove that you are of legal age.

If you do not follow the link in the email and provide consent, the child will still be able to play Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys and other Epic-owned games without access to the above features.

To delete a child's account, log into it and follow the instructions in this article.

Why does my child need my permission to access this service?

If a player indicates they are under the age of digital consent in their country, privacy laws may require their parent or guardian to grant permission to access certain features of games or services where personal information is collected.

If your child is under 13 (or is not yet the digital consent age in their region), their account will not have access to certain content or features until you give permission or until the child reaches the digital consent age in your region.

What is a restricted account?

Restricted Accounts - A new type of Epic account that allows underage users to play safely. If the player indicates that they are under 13 (or that they are under the age of digital consent in their region), they will be asked to provide the email address of a parent or guardian in order for him to give consent for the child's access to certain features in Epic products.

To enable features that are disabled on a restricted account, you must obtain parental or guardian consent and complete account setup, or be 13 years of age or the digital consent age in your region. To resend an email requesting parental or guardian consent, visit the Epic Account Portal and follow the instructions in the "Request Parental Permission" section.

My child is already playing Fortnite, Rocket League or Fall Guys. Why are you only asking for permission now?

Read more about what data Epic collects from accounts in the Epic Games Privacy Policy.

Why do you need my details to verify my identity?

If a player identifies as a child, privacy laws may require the parent or guardian to grant permission to access an online game or service that collects personal information. To comply with these laws, we need to verify that the person consenting to their child's access to this service is in fact an adult.

To do this, Epic has partnered with SuperAwesome, the leading parental consent verification and verification platform. SuperAwesome offers several ways to verify that you are of legal age, depending on which country your child is in. The information provided is used for verification purposes only and is not stored.

To learn more about each method, see What verification methods are available in my country? below.

How does SuperAwesome work?

SuperAwesome uses technology and services to make the internet safer for kids and teens. The SuperAwesome Kids Web Services (KWS) platform allows developers to manage parental consent and verify the identity of parents or guardians when granting children permission to access services and features that collect personal information.

Founded in 2013, SuperAwesome was acquired by Epic Games in 2020. More information can be found at www.SuperAwesome.com.

How are parents screened in SuperAwesome?

Once a parent or guardian consents to their child's access to features of the digital service, SuperAwesome provides the parent with a choice of ways to verify that they are indeed an adult. This verification step is part of a process known as "verifiable parental consent", which is required under some privacy laws to ensure that the person giving the consent is indeed the parent.

Ways to verify that a parent is of legal age may include making a small chargeback on a credit card, checking the social security number against a government database, or scanning a physical ID. Information provided by a parent or guardian is used for verification purposes only and is not stored.

To learn more about each method, see What verification methods are available in my country? and Will you need to collect my personal information more than once in order to verify my identity? below.

What verification methods are available in my country?

When you are asked to verify that you are an adult, you will only see the verification methods that apply to you. They depend on the country where your child is located.

Types of verification methods:

• Credit or debit card (applicable in any country)
• Social Security Number (applicable in the US)
• CPF social security number (applicable in Brazil)
• CURP social security number (applicable in Mexico)
• Scan of ID (available outside the US and South Korea)
• Face scan (available outside the US and South Korea)

Credit or debit card verification (applicable in any country)

A successful credit or debit card money transaction verifies that you are an adult. If you control transactions made with the card, you will know if it was used for verification.

Credit and debit card verification is different depending on whether you are in the US or in another country.

• If your child is in the US, your card will be charged $0.50. Returns usually arrive within 8-13 business days.
• If your child is not in the US, your card will not be charged. Instead, a small amount will be temporarily authorized and then cancelled.

This service is provided by the Stripe payment processor, but SuperAwesome will appear on your statement as a merchant associated with the charge/authorization.

Learn more about how Stripe handles your data in Stripe's privacy policy.

Social Security Number Verification (Applicable in the US)

Your first name, last name, date of birth, address, zip code, and the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number (SSN) are checked against a government database to verify your age. This service is provided by Veratad.

Learn more about how Veratad handles your data in Veratad's privacy policy.

CPF social security number verification (applicable in Brazil)

Your date and CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) number are checked against the government database to confirm your age. This service is provided by Serpro.

Learn more about how Serpro handles your data in Serpro's privacy policy.

CURP Social Security Number (applicable in Mexico)

Your first name, mother's maiden name, father's name, and CURP (Clave Única de Registro de Población) number are checked against the government database to verify your age of majority. This service is provided by Nubarium.

Learn more about how Nubarium handles your data in Nubarium's privacy policy.

ID Scan (Available outside the US and South Korea)

The front and back of your ID or passport are checked against reliable databases to verify your age. We recommend using a valid passport or driver's license. In some areas, we also accept government-issued IDs and citizenship cards. This service is provided by Veratad or Veriff.

Learn more about how Veriff handles your data in Veriff's privacy policy.

Face Scan (available outside the US and South Korea)

The camera on your phone, laptop, or tablet is used to scan your features and determine your age. This service is provided by Yoti. If you believe that Yoti has incorrectly determined that you are an adult, please select a different verification method and try again.

Learn more about how Yoti handles your data in Yoti's privacy policy.

The verification method I used didn't work in my country...

The SuperAwesome service shows you verification methods that are appropriate for the country your child's account is connected to. You may be in a different country than your child, or your child may have changed their account country to a country other than the one they are in. To resolve this issue, do the following:

1. Go back to the procedure and choose another method, such as a credit card or face scan (if available), which can work no matter what country you are in.
2. If that doesn't work, try changing your Epic account country to the country you're in by following the instructions below.
3. If this doesn't work, please contact Player Support by clicking here.

Will you need to collect my personal information more than once to verify my identity?

Once you verify your identity as a parent or guardian, SuperAwesome will remember your details across games and services that use this technology. This minimizes the processing of personal data because you only submit your data for verification once, and it also makes it easier for parents to grant permissions to many of the digital services that their children subscribe to.

SuperAwesome calls this network of verified parents or guardians ParentGraph. ParentGraph stores an encrypted (hashed) version of your email address next to the verified status. In this form, no one can read or use your email address. Your identity verification will only be verified if your child provides the same email address when registering for another service using SuperAwesome technology.

The parent or guardian may need to re-verify if:

• The game or service does not have a verification method activated (e.g. credit card, ID scan, etc.) that the parent or guardian used before.
• After verification, a parent or guardian asked SuperAwesome to remove it from ParentGraph.

SuperAwesome will remove you from ParentGraph if you request it. To request deletion, please follow the link at the bottom of the email you received after successfully verifying you as a parent. You will need to confirm your request.

Is the information I provide in the parental verification process kept?

Neither Epic Games nor SuperAwesome store credit or debit card information, government ID numbers, or face scans provided through the adult verification process. The information provided is used for verification purposes only and is not stored.

SuperAwesome's KWS privacy policy explains how SuperAwesome collects and processes your personal data.

Why did SuperAwesome charge my credit or debit card?

When verifying your identity with a credit or debit card, SuperAwesome will complete a money transaction.

• If your child is in the US, your card will be charged $0.50. Returns usually arrive within 8-13 business days.
• If your child is not in the US, your card will not be charged. Instead, a small amount will be temporarily authorized and then cancelled.

You say that no funds were debited from my card, but I see a debited amount on my bank statement.

If you see a debit on your bank statement, don't worry, these funds have not been debited permanently. Some banks display pre-authorization as a temporary debit if the pre-authorization period falls at the end of the statement period. In either case, the debited amount will be released and shown as a refund on your next bank statement.

If your child is in the US, the amount shown on your statement is a charge but will be refunded within 8-13 business days.

Contact your bank for more information.

I gave my child permission. How can I revoke a permit?

Epic empowers users to make decisions about the digital security of their family members. You can change your parental control permissions at any time. With our parental control feature, you can:

• restrict a child's access to purchases and social features in games owned and operated by Epic, including Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League;
