There are a number of reasons for why we collect your social security number during the application process. In order to verify the employee’s identity, our administrative team here at Forrester Corporation™ will refer to the applicant’s social security number. The applicant’s social security number is useful with background checks, investigating the applicant’s work history, payroll processing, and worker’s compensation benefits. The insurance and benefits that Forrester Corporation™ provides for its employees such as health insurance, welfare, fringe benefits, and retirement all require a social security number for verification. Just remember that giving out your social security is voluntary, but by not disclosing it you do risk the chances of your application being delayed. Also, by not disclosing your social security number you risk the prevention or delay of any employee benefits and other administration functions.
