Why do I get a warning message when I enter a Social Security number?
The Social Security number field requires the entry of a nine-digit Social Security number; omit dashes, etc. You'll want to check for the right number of digits (#########). And you'll want to make sure you enter the number without any dashes, characters, or symbols.
Valid SSN format: ######### or 0########
Invalid SSN format: ###-##-####
Correct: #########
Incorrect: ###-##-####
Incorrect: ###.##.####
Incorrect: AAA-AA-AAAA or AAAAAAAAA
