THIS IS NOT A CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITY. NO PROPOSALS WILL BE ACCEPTED. SSA’s CBSV Open for Enrollment Announcement of New Consent-Based Social Security Number Verification (CBSV) Service by the Social Security Administration (SSA) Social Security is pleased to announce that it welcomes new customers to enroll in its Consent Based Social Security Number (SSN) Verification (CBSV) service. CBSV went live in November 2008 and more than 100 companies have enrolled to use this service. CBSV permits private businesses or government agencies to verify whether a name and SSN match the data in SSA’s Master File of SSNs. It provides instantaneous, automated SSN verification and it easily handles large volume requests. Using CBSV, participating companies can verify the SSNs of their customers and clients. CBSV requires participating companies to pay a fee and obtain the written consent of the SSN holder. CBSV results can only be used for the reason which the number holder specifies. An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is required to enroll and become a CBSV user. To use CBSV you must pay a non-refundable enrollment fee of $5,000 and then pay a transaction fee per SSN verification request. The transaction fee is presently $0.56 and must be paid in advance. Periodically, SSA will recalculate the costs it incurs in providing the CBSV service and will adjust the transaction fee charged as needed. Subscribers will be notified in writing of any change in the transaction fee. SSA may close enrollment to CBSV at its discretion. Questions regarding CBSV may be e-mailed to: [email protected].
