Manage Your SSN and Other Government IDs
Important Information
- Employees should be prepared to provide documented proof of changes for verification purposes.
- If you continually receive an error when trying to verify your social security number, contact your local HR Office.
- Employees who do not already have a social security number entered in Workday receive a task during onboarding to enter this number during the onboarding process.
Getting Started
Verifying Your Social Security Number
The Verify National ID business process allows you to make sure that the social security number entered in Workday is correct.
- Navigate to your Worker Profile and select Personal on the left-hand menu.
- Under the IDs tab, select the Verify National ID button.
Note: All social security numbers are masked for security purposes. Only individuals with appropriate security access to your account can view the number.
- Enter your social security number in the field provided and select OK.
- If the number you entered matches what is currently in Workday, you will receive a confirmation message. Select Done.
- If you enter an SSN that does not match the information in Workday, you will instead receive an error message. Try to enter the SSN again. If you still receive an error message, it is possible the number on file is incorrect. Check with your local HR department for assistance (you may need to edit your social security number in Workday).
- Back on the IDs tab, scroll to the right and you will see your name and the date you verified your SSN.
Making Changes to IDs
Changes can be made to your Government IDs from your Worker profile using the Change My Government IDs task.
Adding IDs
