What is an SSN Validator?

The SSN Validator tool allows you to check the status of a Social Security Number (SSN) -- VALID or INVALID. If the SSN is VALID, the tool will report if the SSN is Active, Reserved for Future Use, or if it belongs to a deceased person. The report also includes the state and the year or year-range when the SSN was issued.

Only accounts with SSN Verification Add-On and Restricted Access Add-On can access this tool.
