[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP HERE: I contacted the mom and asked if 1. She'd like me to come over to sign the form or 2. Email it to me and I'd fill my portion out... she has an iPhone, she read the message at 7:01am and it is 3:17p,.. Still no response. :( yes, texting is unprofessional, but I was simply responding to her message. [/quote]

OP, they sound just flaky in general.

As a nanny myself, I think it was their obligation to let you know prior to hire that they would need your #SSN since they would be paying you out of a Flex Spending Account. It's kinda water under the bridge for them to contact you well into the Fall and mention they need your #SSN now, five weeks later.

They must have some money left over and are trying to weasel it from what they paid you which they didn't think they would have to do during the summer, etc.

Sounds like bad planning to me.

Just ignore them.

They obviously know nothing about financial planning and are just clueless about money.[/quote]

This is ridiculous.  The boss might not have realized she'd need to get the SSN from the OP when she started the job.  Perhaps she thought she'd have enough receipts from the other care she's been getting throughout the year.  Perhaps she decided not to have her child/children cared for for the rest of the year and now would like to apply the summer care for the credit.  All of the posters such as this PP who think this is some big conspiracy really don't understand what exactly the boss is doing, do you?  It's a completely legitimate request.

Now I agree that the OP has the right to safeguard her SSN, and I think it's totally fair for her to request that they meet up or that the form gets mailed directly to her.  But to call the MB a flake and say she should have known better or is trying to 'weasel' anything is just silly without knowing more about the situation.  [/quote]
