You don’t need to provide an SS# for employment under the Biden administration? (security, 1099)

[Layden85]

My friend told me the Biden administration lifted the need to provide SSN for employment. If you don’t supply one, one is randomly generated.
Is this true?

[Moby Hick]

No, it's not true.

[MSchemist80]

Not true. A social security number is needed for many purposes none the least of which is filing 1099's/W2's with the IRS.

Just another example of stupidity and politics. The goal is to make thinking optional, and the evidence shows it's working.

My word!
That is not true.
