As the Social Security Centre (Centre commun de la sécurité sociale - CCSS) considers any record sent subsequently with an invalid employee social security number to be null and void, it is the employer's responsibility to:
- obtain the valid social security number from their database;
- check the data against the data in their file.
MATASS file specifications
