Payroll Enhancement Program
SSN Decoupling
SSN Decoupling is an effort to minimize the exposure of New York State employees’ Social Security Numbers (SSN) during payroll processing. To protect this information, OSC will transition from using the SSN as the EMPLID in PayServ to using the NYS EMPLID, a system assigned number. SSN Decoupling is expected to be completed in November, 2012.
New SSN Decoupling in PayServ Complete!
Phase 1 of the SSN Decoupling conversion was completed on November 12, 2012! In Phase 2, OSC will collaborate with Vendors and Control Agencies to determine whether the NYS EMPLID can replace the SSN on inbound and outbound files.
