Employer Reporting Requirements for Social Security Form SSA-1945

Social Security law requires employers to submit Form SSA-1945 for all new employees not covered by Social Security. The Social Security Protection Act of 2004 requires that all new employees not covered by Social Security complete and sign form SSA-1945, Statement Concerning Your Employment in a Job Not Covered by Social Security, before employment begins. 

A copy of the signed form is to be sent to TRS by the employer. For TRS placement of the form in the appropriate member's file, the Employee ID# requested on the form must be the member's Social Security number. 

Please complete Form SSA-1945. You can mail the form to TRS using the address below. You can also upload the completed form directly to TRS.
 

For more detailed information on how Reporting Employers can submit documents to TRS, please review the RE Guide for RE and Member Document Upload Sites resource. 


Copies of completed forms can be mailed to: ​​​​​​​​​
