Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) Handbook

MAINTAINING YOUR REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Use the Account Maintenance link on the BSO Main Menu web page to:

• Update your contact information,
• Change your password, and
• Deactivate your User Identification Number (User ID).

These features are described below.

UPDATING YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION

Select the Update your Registration Information link on the Account Maintenance web page to change or add to the contact information you provided during registration. The e-mail address you provided during registration allows the Social Security Administration (SSA) to send you an e-mail notice when it is time to change your password. In addition, you will receive BSO News, which provides important wage and tax reporting updates.

CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD

For information on how to change your password, see the section "Changing Your Password" under the REGISTRATION section of this handbook.

DEACTIVATING YOUR USER ID

Select the Deactivate Your User ID link from the Account Maintenance web page to deactivate your User ID in the event that you leave the company, your User ID is disclosed to an unauthorized party or for any other reason. The prompt User ID deactivation helps to ensure the security of the information you provide to SSA.

If you require help with deactivating your User ID, or if you wish to deactivate an obsolete User ID belonging to another person, call the Employer Reporting Assistance number at the beginning of this handbook.

Deactivating your own User ID does not prevent you from obtaining a new User ID.
