Social Security Number Verifications

Did you know that the Illinois State Legislature passed a law FORBIDDING employers to use the federal database to check Social Security numbers for new employees? The next time one of them tells you they are working hard to protect your identity, ask them about it.
It is House Bill 1744 and the Gov signed in on August 13.
Now, the state is being sued by Homeland Security for that little stunt but we don't know how that is going.
But I learned today that it doesn't become law until January 1. Get on the phone and ask your elected officials to change that law.
We need Social Security number verification.
