Each year employers report the wage
amounts they paid their employees to IRS for tax purposes, and
separately to SSA for retirement and disability coverage purposes.
In theory these reported amounts should equal each other; however,
each year some of the employer wage reports that SSA receives are
less than the wage amounts reported to IRS. SSA attempts to ensure
that employees receive full credit for the wages they have earned
through the use of the SSA-L 93 (cover letter); SSA-L 94 (cover
letter); SSA-95 and SSA-97 (questionnaires). Respondents are
employers who reported less wage amounts to SSA than they reported
to IRS.
