The issue date of the Social Security number that you gave us when you contacted us is not verified

[ThriftySaver]

I had a friend who just came to the states and got a social security number two years ago. However, when looking thru her credit report I notice it says "The issue date of the Social Security number that you gave us when you contacted us is not verified by the Social Security Administration" Does anyone knows what this mean or how to fix it? She already has several credit cards from Chase and Bank of America, but each time after applying they ask to upload social security card, so not sure if it is due to this or just a new credit history file

Might be newly issued card and whoever reported your SS to a CRA was off. All 3 CRA's have procedures to rectify this upon a search.

Came to this forum (and wow, this is great!) after searching for the same issue as the thread opener above. 

Experian does not give me a FICO yet and a notice on my account says ¨The issue date of the Social Security number that you gave us when you contacted us is not verified by the Social Security Administration."

I called Experian and they said they cant do anything about it. Its the fault of the SSA.
The SSA says, everything is alright with my SSN.

I recently applied for a CC and got rejected after they pulled my Experian report, stating "Identity could not be confirmed". 

Worried now that this might affect many other things, too.
If anyone has any suggestion, I am all ears.

My suggestion is to schedule an in-person appointment with your closest SSA office and take whatever documents they'll require with you.

She needs to contact the credit bureaus to have them remove that notice. Each one has their own prodecure for dealing with it. SSA randomized SSNs in 2011, so any SSN issued after that to anyone but a newborn will have that flag. Previously, they used to be issued with certain prefixes that were issued during certain blocks of years.

My spouse is an immigrant and has had those notices for years. He got a job at Walmart and has many credit cards, including one from Capital One, which won't let me add him as an AU with SSN because they "can't verify it".

I told the lady they issued him a card, and she didn't know what to do. Nobody working at Capital One has any authority over accounts. It's all up to the computer.

E-Verify Self-Check still says PASS and the SSA says that just not being able to identify the issue date of a SSN is not grounds to make an employment decision.

The banks said go to the SSA, the SSA says go to the credit bureaus, the credit bureaus have outsourced "support" that doesn't know so they just tell you something to get you to hang up.

The message apparently is in regards to the randomized order sequence of SSNs issued after 2011. Eventually they'll start running into this problem with non-naturalized US citizens, but all of them are no more than 13 years old right now.
