A bill for an act relating to unlawful practices involving providing a false social security number to an employer or prospective employer, or to a potential employee, and making penalties applicable.
HF 2611 prohibits employers from hiring or continuing to employ someone who provided a false Social Security number (SSN) on employment documents. It also makes it unlawful for job seekers to provide a false SSN to obtain employment, and for employers to give fraudulent SSNs to hire people. Employers violating these rules face a $10,000 civil penalty, with repeated violations requiring business shutdowns until managers complete compliance training. The bill directly affects employers in Iowa and job seekers who use false SSNs, aiming to prevent identity fraud in hiring.
