89In addition to our efforts to improve the enumeration process, we are also striving to improve our ability
to maintain accurate earnings records. Our initiatives include:
Continuing the Earnings Redesign Initiative:
We are redesigning our systems to make our earnings
process more efficient and accurate. In addition, we are working with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
to enhance the earnings data exchanges for improved wage reporting.
In FY 2013, we will improve our detection and prevention capabilities for potential wage reporting fraud,
retire outdated business processes, replace outdated technology, and automate our earnings
reconciliation process. In FY 2014, we will improve our error-detection capabilities, retire obsolete
system functionality, streamline automated business processes, continue to retire outdated business
processes, and continue the automation of our earnings reconciliation process.
Expanding Use of Social Security number Verification Services (SSNVS):
We can accurately post
employee wages only when employers report employee wages under the correct name and SSN. SSNVS
allows registered users (i.e., employers and their contractors) to determine, almost instantaneously, if
the reported name and SSN of an employee matches our records. We will continue to work with the
business community to encourage additional employers and third-party companies to use this service.
Increasing Electronic Wage Report (EWR) Filing:
Annually, we receive over 3.3 million paper wage
reports from employers that contain over 29 million paper Forms W-2. Paper wage reports are more
error-prone, labor-intensive, and expensive to process; accordingly, we will continue to work toward
eliminating paper wage reports while migrating to an electronic earnings record process.
In FY 2012, we implemented enhancements in our EWR suite of services to increase EWR filing. The
number of registered EWR users has increased from 500,000 in tax year 2009 to over 734,000 in tax
year 2012. In FY 2013, we will add functionality to our online Forms W-2 and implement user-friendly
enhancements to make it easier for small businesses to use our EWR suite of services. We will also
continue to encourage employers and third-party submitters to use EWR through promotional
materials, articles in trade publications, and direct contact.
