  2. Student will need to deliver completed SSA Employment Verification Form, and supporting work authorization documentation to meet with a representative in the  Office of International Student Services office in Holland Yates Hall (formerly Madison Hall), 2nd floor, 100 E. Grace Street (568-5209, isss@jmu.edu).  At this time, SSA Employment Verification form will be signed by the ISS office representative.

  4. Once the student has the SS Card, the student is responsible for turning in a copy to their hiring department. The hiring department will send the SS Card to Student Employment (attach to ePAR).  Student Employment will update the HRMS system and a copy will be sent tothe Registrar's office to update the SA system. 
  5. Student will complete Section 1 of the I9 form with their hiring department at www.newi9.com using the Employer Code 17737 and Location "International Programs (Students Only)"

At this appointment Student Employment will instruct the student to schedule a meeting with Sherry Willis (willissl@jmu.edu) in the Payroll department for tax purposes. 

***Note: A student's employment and payment of wages cannot be withheld because of the timeframe it takes to complete the Social Security process. This delay does not prevent the student from working in the position during this period. However, the electronic I-9 MUST be started on or before the first day of hire, and must be completed within 3 days of hire. It is imperative that the student go to the Student Employment office within that timeframe.
