Wow, that’s embarrassing. So much for leading by example. From Federal Computer Week:
The Social Security Administration failed to perform required
verifications of the Social Security numbers of 19 percent of its own
new hires during a recent 18-month period, according to a new report
from the agency’s inspector general, Patrick O’Carroll Jr.The SSA also improperly screened the identities of 75 volunteers, job candidates and existing employees and was either too early or too late in verifying the eligibility of 49 percent of its new hires, according to the audit of Jan. 6.
SSA officials asked to review some of the findings with the IG, and agreed with all the recommendations for improvements.
