Weed out old forms that ask for Social Security number

Please check your saved electronic files and your storage cabinets for old Human Resource Services (HRS) forms that request a Social Security number. If you find one, please get rid of it right away.

HRS and many other offices around campus have put forth a big effort over the past several months to redo forms so that they no longer ask for a person�s Social Security number. Although we�ve updated our forms, and the new and improved ones are readily available through our Web site, we still occasionally see an old one drifting about.

Up-to-date forms are available through the HRS forms Web page and through the Business Services forms Web page. If you have a question about one of our forms, please contact the section of our department involved.

New laws related to restricted or sensitive information � such as a person�s Social Security number � went into effect in July 2006. You can reduce your risk of breaking these laws by not collecting Social Security numbers.
