Tuesday, October 07, 2008 Social Security News Release On Friday, the Commissioner of Social Security asked six states to review voter registration verification procedures in order to ensure compliance with federal law. The six states contacted were Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio. Michael Astrue, the Commissioner, noticed extraordinarily high levels of requests to SSA despite the fact that under the Help America Vote Act of 2002, most states are required to verify the last four digits of Social Security numbers only of those new citizens seeking to register to vote that do not have a valid state driver's license. The reason for such increased concern is that it is essential that people entitled to register to vote are allowed to do so without obstacles. Posted by Kelly Doherty |
