What is a SSA tentative non-confirmation (TNC)?
If an employee receives a Social Security Administration (SSA) tentative non-confirmation (TNC), they have the option of visiting an SSA field office to update their record or if the employee is a naturalized citizen, the employee may choose to call USCIS directly to resolve the TNC. The phone number can be found on the SSA referral letter. The system then either confirms to the employer that the worker is employment-authorized or it issues a “tentative non-confirmation” (TNC) notice indicating that the databases cannot immediately confirm that the worker is employment-authorized.
